Features: Written by Professor Palais of the University of Arizona, "Fiber Optic Communications" is a renowned book. This book comprehensively covers the main components used in fiber optic communications, the principles of fiber transmission, the generation and reception of optical signals, the design of fiber optic communication systems, and fiber optic communication networks. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the entire book, introducing the composition of fiber optic communication systems. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a brief review of optics and wave theory, with the fundamental theories involved forming the basis for analyzing fiber optic components and fiber optic communication systems. Chapter 4 discusses the fundamentals of integrated optics technology. Chapter 5 covers fibers and cables. Chapters 6 and 7 teach communication optical sources and optical detectors. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce the main passive components, including connectors, couplers, and devices used in distributed optical networks. Chapter 10 discusses modulation techniques for optical sources. Chapter 11 covers the detection of optical signals and the impact of noise on optical communications. Chapter 12 introduces the main issues involved in system design. This book presents the fundamentals of fiber optic communications in a comprehensive, systematic, and accessible manner, while also placing strong emphasis on the emerging new technologies in fiber optic communications in recent years. Therefore, it is an excellent textbook suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in electronic engineering and communication engineering. For technical personnel engaged in communication engineering, it is also an excellent reference book and self-study material.
