Description
We are taking the unique "rules of thumb" format that drove the authors' previous Photonics Rules of Thumb, and creating a new volume for the Optical telecommunications field. Rules of thumb are short-cuts, tricks, and methods that industry vets have developed through long years of trial and error. These books share such rules with less experienced readers, who find such information incredibly valuable.

"They Learned This Stuff The Hard Way, August 25, 2000 Reviewer: Phil Hobbs (see more about me) from Briarcliff Manor, New York USA I'm a great fan of lore books as opposed to textbooks or reference books. Lore books are the ones that contain the things that many people in the field may know, but which they had to learn the hard way, and I like them because they help me learn the easy way! Miller and Friedman have written a fun and very useful lore book, which has helped a lot of electro-optics people (including me) stay out of some nasty potholes. The book is inexpensive, and if you're building or specifying electro-optical systems of any sort, you should own it.More details
