Optical Fiber Communication (Third Edition)

Author: KEISER
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Publication Date: 1999-08-01
Features:
The operating principles of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and the components needed for its realization.
Descriptions of the architectures and the performance characteristics of optical networks for connecting users having a wide range of transmission needs.
Discussions of advanced optical communication techniques such as soliton transmission, optical CDMA, and ultrafast optical time-division multiplexing.
An entire chapter devoted to measurement standards, basic test equipment and techniques for verifying the operational characteristics of components and links.
A modeling and simulation program on CD-ROM, which is adapted for student use from Virtual Photonics' "Photonic Transmission Design Suite". This Windows-based program allows students to examine the performance of key components and of basic links consisting of these components.
A comprehensive treatment of optical-link constituents such as optical fibers, light sources, photodetectors, connecting and coupling devices, and optical amplifiers.
The design principles of digital and analog optical fiber transmission links, including optical power budgets, signal risetimes, line coding, and noise effects on system performance.
