Book Description:

This book introduces the physical principles of optical fibers, and details their use in sensor technology and modern optical communications.The authors set out the basic propagation characteristics of single mode and multimode optical fibers. In later chapters they cover optical sources, optical detectors, and fiber-optic communication system design.Throughout the book, physical and engineering aspects of the subject are interwoven, and many worked examples and exercises are included. It will be an ideal textbook for undergraduate or graduate students taking courses in optical fiber communications, photonics, or optoelectronics.

Review:

"This is a truly comprehensive, timely text for in-depth studies of communication via fiber optics...The text clearly elucidates all the intricate topics with step-by-step, easy-to-follow mathematical analysis. The authors make it surprisingly easy for the reader to grasp the underlying physical concepts together with the mathematical model." Science Books & Films

"...an excellent book that provides a comprehensive account of the fundamentals of fiber optics...Overall, this is a well thought out and well balanced book that, in the reviewer's opinion, proves to be a valuable reference on fiber optics. Its thoroughness, breadth, and clarity of presentation will attract a large audience." Optics and Photonics News
