With optical fiber telecommunications firmly entrenched in the
global information infrastructure, a key question for the future is
how deeply will optical communications penetrate and complement
other forms of communication (e.g., wireless access, on-premises
networks, interconnects, and satellites). Optical Fiber
Telecommunications, the seventh edition of the classic series that
has chronicled the progress in the research and development of
lightwave communications since 1979, examines present and future
opportunities by presenting the latest advances on key topics such
as: Fiber and 5G-wireless access networks Inter- and intra-data
center communications Free-space and quantum communication links
Another key issue is the use of advanced photonics manufacturing
and electronic signal processing to lower the cost of services and
increase the system performance. To address this, the book covers:
Foundry and software capabilities for widespread user access to
photonic integrated circuits Nano- and microphotonic components
Advanced and nonconventional data modulation formats The
traditional emphasis of achieving higher data rates and longer
transmission distances are also addressed through chapters on
space-division-multiplexing, undersea cable systems, and efficient
reconfigurable networking. This book is intended as an ideal
reference suitable for university and industry researchers,
graduate students, optical systems implementers, network operators,
managers, and investors. Quotes: "This book series, which owes much
of its distinguished history to the late Drs. Kaminow and Li,
describes hot and growing applied topics, which include
long-distance and wideband systems, data centers, 5G, wireless
networks, foundry production of photonic integrated circuits,
quantum communications, and AI/deep-learning. These subjects will
be highly beneficial for industrial R&D engineers, university
teachers and students, and funding agents in the business sector."
Prof. Kenichi Iga President (Retired), Tokyo Institute of
Technology "With the passing of two luminaries, Ivan Kaminow and
Tingye Li, I feared the loss of one of the premier reference books
in the field. Happily, this new version comes to chronicle the
current state-of-the-art and is written by the next generation of
leaders. This is a must-have reference book for anyone working in
or trying to understand the field of optical fiber communications
technology." Dr. Donald B. Keck Vice President, Corning, Inc.
(Retired) "This book is the seventh edition in the definitive
series that was previously marshaled by the extraordinary Ivan
Kaminow and Tingye Li, both sadly no longer with us. The series has
charted the remarkable progress made in the field, and over a
billion kilometers of optical fiber currently snake across the
globe carrying ever-increasing Internet traffic. Anyone wondering
about how we will cope with this incredible growth must read this
book." Prof. Sir David Payne Director, Optoelectronics Research
Centre, University of Southampton
