✦ Synopsis

The book covers all essential elements of current and next generation fibre optic networks, including many that are ignored in other books. The reader gains an in-depth understanding of the current and future capabilities of fibre optic communication networks. He can estimate what fibre optics has to provide and where its (current and long-term) limitations may lie. Optoelectronic devices and glass fibres are the basis of contemporary communication systems. The book deals with the various components of these systems such as lasers, amplifiers, modulation devices, converters, optical switches, filters, detectors, emitters, sensors and fibre transfer systems. A systematic evaluation of the state of the art in related technological research and the level reached in application is given.
