Senior is an established core text in a field that is growing fast, and in which technology is constantly evolving. The text succeeds in giving a practical introduction to the fundamentals, problems and techniques of design and utilisation of optical fiber systems. It is respected as the most comprehensive and practical book in the market. This new edition will retain all core features, while incorporating recent improvements and developments in the field. Optical fiber systems have now become more sophisticated and, as a result, are now the communication method of choice for many systems. New/additional material will include optical amplifiers, soliton systems and optical networks.
Salient Features SI units used throughout Includes all major developments in single-mode fibers Contains a wealth of worked examples, problems and exercises Has broadest coverage of optical amplifiers and optic devices Coverage of advanced systems and techniques Extensive references throughout the text Worked examples illustrate applications Coverage of op amps and soliton systems Updated and expanded coverage of optical networks
