Introduction to Fiber-Optic Communications provides students with the most up-to-date comprehensive coverage of modern optical fiber communications and applications, striking a good balance between theory and practice, while avoiding excessive mathematics and derivations. Unlike other textbooks currently available, this book covers all of the important recent technologies and developments in the field, including electro-optic modulators, coherent optical systems, and silicon integrated photonic circuits. Filled with practical and relevant worked examples and exercise problems, the book presents complete coverage of the topics that optical and communications engineering students will be directly involved with once they graduate and enter the fiber optic communication industry, from principles of optical and optoelectronic components to optical transmission system design; from conventional optical fiber links to more useful optical communication systems with advanced modulation formats and high-speed DSP; from point-to-point optical transmission systems to optical networks including today's important application areas of passive optical networks, datacenters, and optical interconnections. Fully covers fiber-optic communication system fundamentals, design rules and terminologiesProvides students with an understanding of the physical principles and characteristics of passive and active fiber-optic componentsTeaches students how to perform fiber-optic system design, performance evaluation and trouble shootingIncludes modern advances in modulation and decoding strategies INDICE: 1.
