About this ebook
The book offers a completely accessible and in-depth knowledge of the principles and applications of optical fiber communication (OFC). It deals with materials, devices, components, and systems of OFC.
The coverage includes key concepts such as properties of light, evolution and elements of OFC, its benefits, along with applications in optical LAN and communication links. The attenuation loss of different types, dispersion mechanism, photon sources (LED and lasers), detectors (PIN and avalanche), analog and digital transmitter and receiver systems, connectorization, OADM, and amplifiers are described. Built-up of long haul OFC links at 8 Mb/s and 2.5 Gb/s, and optical interface are explained with illustrations. It also contains solved numerical problems for better understanding of topics.
