Optical Fiber Communications Principles and Practice

Senior is an established core text in a field that is growing fast, and#xA0;in which#xA0;technology is constantly evolving. The text succeeds in giving a practical introduction to the fundamentals, problems and techniques of design and utilisation of optical fiber systems. It is respected as the most comprehensive and practical book in the market.#xA0; This new edition will retain all core features, while incorporating recent improvements and developments in the field. Optical fiber systems have now become more sophisticated and, as a result, are now the communication method of choice for many systems.#xA0; New/additional material will include optical amplifiers, soliton systems and optical networks.
