Aimed at advanced level undergraduate courses in fibre optics, this book explores fibre optics in communications. It describes the building blocks of an optical fibre system, and allows students to process the initial design of optical links for use in fibre optic communication systems. There is expanded discussion of nonlinearity, new material on solitons, dispersion compensation techniques, and fibre gratings reflect developments in the field and provide the reader with up-to-date information. Material on ATM has been added to the data networks section, broadening the network applications covered to include banking alongside computers (SONET) and telecommunications (FDDI). Fibre optic theory is covered, but more emphasis is placed on the results as they are applied to items in a link.
