Description
"Readers searching for a wide ranging and up--date view of fibre optic communication systems would do well to purchase this book." - "International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education" (on the Second Edition). This comprehensive, up-to-date account of fiber-optic communication focuses on the physics and technology behind fiber-optic communication systems while covering both the systems and components aspects. It provides extensive details on the WDM technology and system design issues that have developed since the last edition. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
