Optical fiber communications : principles and applications
By: Singal, T. L.
Publisher: Delhi Cambridge University Press 2016Description: xix, 450p.ISBN: 9781316610046.Subject(s): Optical fiber communicationDDC classification: 621.38275 | Si64o Summary: Beginning with an overview of historical development, the electromagnetic spectrum, and optical power basics, this book offers an in-depth discussion of optic receivers, optical transmitters and amplifiers. The text discusses attenuation, transmission losses, optical sources such as semiconductor light emitting diodes, and lasers, providing several dispersion-management schemes that restore the amplified signal to its original state. Topics are discussed in a structured manner, with definitions, explanations, examples, illustrations, and informative facts. Extensive pedagogical features, such as numerical problems, review questions, multiple choice questions, and student-focussed learning objectives, are also provided. Mathematical derivations and geometrical representations are included where necessary. This text will be useful for undergraduate and graduate students of electronics, communication engineering, and optical fiber communications. Provides comprehensive coverage of optical fiber technology and optical transmitters Includes adequate mathematical derivation and geometrical representation Incorporates student-friendly features like facts to know, points to remember and model question papers A large number of solved examples and numerical problems are provided for better understanding| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
