Fundamentals of Optical Fibers, Second Edition offers readers a timely and consistent introduction to the fundamental principles of light propagation in fibers. In it, the author reviews, in depth, fundamental wave guiding concepts, the influence of various fiber structures and materials on light transmission, nonlinear light propagation effects occurring in fibers, and various measurement techniques. Since the chief application of optical fibers is in communication systems, throughout the book the focus is on topics, which pertain to that domain. Booknews A text for an intermediate-level field theory course on optical fiber waveguides, for senior or first-year graduate students in electrical engineering or physics. Assumes at least a one- semester junior or senior course in electromagnetics. Introduces the basics of light propagation in fibers, including waveguiding concepts, the influence of fiber structures and material properties, and nonlinear effects. Annotation c.
