Radio frequency (RF) technology and optical fiber technology have much in common. Fiber optics is viewed as the latest telecommunications technology that allows the efficient transmission of information. Today it is in widespread use because of its increased bandwidth, increased information capacity, and greater transmission distances.
This book is designed for use as a text by undergraduate students of electrical, electronics and communication engineering as well as by students of physics. It provides an accessible and thorough treatment of fiber optics, without an intimidating amount of mathematical derivations.
The book explains the basic optical concepts, applications and systems; the nature and performance characteristics of optical fibers; optical sources; and optical components—connectors, splices, couplers/splitters, filters, circulators, isolators, attenuators, switches, and modulators. It then looks at modern optical fiber telecommunications systems and explains the relationship between the source, fiber, and detector. Current applications of the fiber optics technology are also explored in the concluding chapter of the book.9788120330153
