Description
Book SynopsisFiber Optic Essentials starts with a basic discussion on lightwaves and the phenomenon of refraction and reflection. It then goes on to introduces the reader to the field of fiber optics and covers some of the recent developments, such as fiber amplifiers, dispersion compensation and nonlinear effects.
Trade ReviewThis is an excellent reference book for anyone interested in gaining basic understanding of fiber optics. (
