Review
Lightwave Communication Systems
have emerged as high-speed broadband links across many
parts of the world. Although several textbooks have
been written on this subject, many of these do not emphasize
practical lightwave Systems.
This textbook describes practical
lightwave systems along with new developments in fibers-optics
technologies. Specifically, it introduces you to optical
fibers, light sources external modulators, Photodetectors,
passive components, wavelength switching and crossconnects,
optical amplifiers and optical receivers.
The book also covers transport technologies related
to long-haul DWDM, metro and HFC / CATV lightwave transport
systems, a building block approach to lightwave systems
design, several numerical and lightwave system simulation
examples, a demonstrated and lightwave version of lightwave
system simulation software and a solutions manual for
the problems at the end of each chapter.”- Electronics

Lightwave
Communication Systems : A Practical Perspective book is
mainly addressed to senior undergraduate students in electrical
engineering, providing the basic material relating to
the theory and application of optical fiber communication
technology. Lightwave Communication Systems serves as
a working reference for practicing engineers or scientists
working in the fiber optic industry. The purpose of Lightwave
Communication Systems book is to present new developments
in fiber optic technology as well as to give an outline
of the practical lightwave systems. It is assumed that
readers have been introduced to electromagnetic theory,
calculus, differential equations, signals and systems
and semiconductor devices.
During
2000-2002, the author,Rajappa Papannareddy worked in the
fiber optic industry, and based on his experience he decided
to incorporate the topics of practical lightwave transport
systems such as long-haul DWDM, Metro, and HFC/CATV transport
systems. The Lightwave Communication Systems book takes
a building-block approach and utilizes several numerical
and computer simulation examples in each chapter to provide
a complete and a detailed overview of system design. Lightwave
Communication Systems book begins with the traditional
optical fiber devices and components including transmission
media, light sources, photodetectors, optical amplifiers,
receivers, WDM components, and other passive components.
