This book tells you all you want to know about optical fibers:
Their structure, their light-guiding mechanism, their material and
manufacture, their use. It began with telephone, then came telefax
and email. Today we use search engines, music downloads and
internet videos, all of which require shuffling of bits and bytes
by the zillions. The key to all this is the conduit: the line which
is designed to carry massive amounts of data at breakneck speed. In
their data carrying capacity optical fiber lines beat all other
technologies (copper cable, microwave beacons, satellite links)
hands down, at least in the long haul; wireless devices rely on
fibers, too. Several effects tend to degrade the signal as it
travels down the fiber: they are spelled out in detail. Nonlinear
processes are given due consideration for a twofold reason: On the
one hand they are fundamentally different from the more familiar
processes in electrical cable. On the other hand, they form the
basis of particularly interesting and innovative applications,
provided they are understood well enough. A case in point is the
use of so-called solitons, i.e. special pulses of light which have
the wonderful property of being able to heal after perturbation.
The book will take you from the physical basics of ray and beam
optics, explain fiber structure and the functions of optical
elements, and bring you to the forefront of both applications and
research. The state of the art of high speed data transmission is
described, and the use of fiber optic sensors in metrology is
treated. The book is written in a pedagogical style so that
students of both physics and electrical engineering, as well as
technicians and engineers involved in optical technologies, will
benefit. The new edition is largely updated and has new sections on
nonlinear phenomena in fibers as well as on the latest trends in
applications.
