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 For You [February 2007] |
