Optical fibers for transmission

摘要: Provides a broad and easily assimilated introduction to fiber communications, requiring no more mathematical knowledge than needed for bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry, or engineering. Reviews necessary mathematics, introducing electromagnetic theory dielectric waveguides; presents underlying theories of propagation multimode step index graded fibers, emphasizing physical models practical situations. Covers mode coupling, the performance joint sections, material dispersion. Includes detailed discussions techniques preparation optical factors, controlling their loss bandwidth, measuring, jointing, splicing. Also includes cables, design, materials used construction, special strength properties. Closes by examining receiver properties that it shows as result photon shot noise associated with signal, followed some simple modelling see how fibers interact can be optimized within an system.
