Fiber-Optic Communication Systems

Catalog description

Description: The fundamentals of fiber-optic communication systems are described in detail. Fiber electromagnetic behaviors, laser and LED transmitters, photodetectors and semiconductor receivers and other hardware components are covered. System level design and integration concepts are covered including modulation schemes, multiplexing, dispersion and power budget, sampling, incoherent and coherent detection, error control, and network distribution. A historical framework shows how technical capabilities and growing communication needs forced fiber systems evolution.
