When we were first approached by Dr. Lucky to write this book we
were very enthusiastic about the prospect, since we had
contemplated a similar project for quite some time. The difficulty
lay in how best to digest the vast amount of data on optical
propagation, reduce it to a book of manageable size, and
simultaneously form the transition from the physics of propagation
to the engineering of optical channels. This is the intent of
Optical Channels. In accomplishing our goal it was necessary to
condense the material on optical propagation and, in so doing, we
have left a large amount to be handled via references. We have
tried to make these decisions in a consistent manner so that the
book will be uniform in its treatment of this topic. We identify
four channels for consideration: the free-space channel, which: is
characteristic of a tranquil atmosphere or a space-to-space link;
the turbulent channel, which is characteristic of the atmospheric
channel; the scatter channel in two forms, clouds and water; and
the fiber optic channel. For each of these channels we have tried
to reduce the applicable propagation theory to a level that can be
used for engineering design. This has been done by example, but
here again decisions had to be made on which examples to present.
We have not tried to present any material on optical components and
consequently other references on engineering would be necessary to
supplement this book.
