From the Back Cover

This new volume is the latest in a set representing the most comprehensive collection of descriptive material and tabulated data about optics ever assembled! Its 27 all-new chapters—contributed by the most widely respected names in the field—give you instant access to reliable information concerning every aspect of fiber optics. Prepared under the auspices of the Optical Society of America, this definitive work includes all the information you need to start solving problems in optics, from design of systems and components to day-today laboratory research and development. This volume contains a new index covering all four volumes, extensive chapter glossaries, and a wealth of current references to guide you to even more sources of information. Volume IV: Fiber Optics and Nonlinear Optics includes articles that cover: *Fiber optics communications, technologies, and systems *Solitons, gratings, amplifiers, modulators, and detectors for fiber-optic systems *Fiber-based couplers, isolators, MUX, and deMUX *Time-domain multiplexed (TDM) and wavelength-domain multiplexed (WDM) networks *Fiber-optic links for telecom, datacom, and analog signaling *Optical fiber sections and infrared fibers *The Raman effect with tables of shifts, photorefractivity, laser damages, and the generation of other wavelength light sources The Optical Society of America is dedicated to advancing study, teaching, research, and engineering in optics.
