ISBN : 9780070382794
Book Description
The first comprehensive applied book in years on this rapidly-changing area of telecommunications, here is the only resource capable of bringing you fully up to speed on the latest developments in fiber optic communication systems (FOCS). Designed to help you master the mathematics and statistics needed to create high-performance FOCS, Fiber Optic Communications offers you current, in-depth coverage of: optical amplification and the operational characteristics of optical amplifiers; several types of optical detectors - including a uniquely rigorous treatment of quantum noise, receiver noise, and noise in optical amplifiers; wave-division multiplexing - which greatly increases the data rate capability of optical fibers; optical heterodyne detection (OHD) systems - including system performance and proven methods for dealing with phase noise; pros and cons of OHD receivers versus direct detection receivers - one of the hottest debates in fiber optics; and design and performance of a proposed OHD system that features much greater detector sensitivity than present systems.

Book Description
Within the past few decades, information technologies have been evolving at a tremendous rate, causing profound changes to our world and our ways of life. In particular, fiber optics has been playing an increasingly crucial role within the telecommunication revolution. Not only most long-distance links are fiber based, but optical fibers are increasingly approaching the individual end users, providing wide bandwidth links to support all kinds of data-intensive applications such as video, voice, and data services. As an engineering discipline, fiber optics is both fascinating and challenging. Fiber optics is an area that incorporates elements from a wide range of techno- gies including optics, microelectronics, quantum electronics, semiconductors, and networking. As a result of rapid changes in almost all of these areas, fiber optics is a fast evolving field. Therefore, the need for up-to-date texts that address this growing field from an interdisciplinary perspective persists. This book presents an overview of fiber optics from a practical, engineering perspective. Therefore, in addition to topics such as lasers, detectors, and optical fibers, several topics related to electronic circuits that generate, detect, and process the optical signals are covered. In other words, this book attempts to present fiber optics not so much in terms of a field of “optics” but more from the perspective of an engineering field within “optoelectronics.
