This book highlights the fundamental principles of optical fiber
technology required for understanding modern high-capacity
lightwave telecom networks. Such networks have become an
indispensable part of society with applications ranging from simple
web browsing to critical healthcare diagnosis and cloud computing.
Since users expect these services to always be available, careful
engineering is required in all technologies ranging from component
development to network operations. To achieve this understanding,
this book first presents a comprehensive treatment of various
optical fiber structures and diverse photonic components used in
optical fiber networks. Following this discussion are the
fundamental design principles of digital and analog optical fiber
transmission links. The concluding chapters present the
architectures and performance characteristics of optical networks.
This book introduces senior-level and postgraduate students to the
principles and applications of biophotonics. It also serves as a
valuable reference resource or as a short-course textbook for
practicing physicians, clinicians, biomedical researchers,
healthcare professionals, and biomedical engineers and technicians
dealing with the design, development, and application of photonics
components and instrumentation to biophotonics issues. The topics
include the fundamentals of optics and photonics, the optical
properties of biological tissues, light-tissue interactions,
microscopy for visualizing tissue components, spectroscopy for
optically analyzing the properties of tissue, and optical
biomedical imaging. It also describes tools and techniques such as
laser and LED optical sources, photodetectors, optical fibers,
bioluminescent probes for labeling cells, optical-based biosensors,
surface plasmon resonance, and lab-on-a-chip technologies. Among
the applications are optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical
imaging modalities, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photobiostimulation
or low-level light therapy (LLLT), diverse microscopic and
spectroscopic techniques, tissue characterization, laser tissue
ablation, optical trapping, and optogenetics. Worked examples
further explain the material and how it can be applied to practical
designs, and the homework problems help test readers' understanding
of the text.
This book highlights the rapidly developing field of advanced
optical methods for structural and functional brain imaging. As is
known, the brain is the most poorly understood organ of a living
body. It is indeed the most complex structure in the known universe
and, thus, mapping of the brain has become one of the most exciting
frontlines of contemporary research. Starting from the fundamentals
of the brain, neurons and synapses, this book presents a
streamlined and focused coverage of the core principles,
theoretical and experimental approaches, and state-of-the-art
applications of most of the currently used imaging methods in brain
research. It presents contributions from international leaders on
different photonics-based brain imaging modalities and techniques.
Included are comprehensive descriptions of many of the technology
driven spectacular advances made over the past few years that have
allowed novel insights of the structural and functional details of
neurons. The book is targeted at researchers, engineers and
scientists who are working in the field of brain imaging,
neuroscience and connectomics. Although this book is not intended
to serve as a textbook, it will appeal to undergraduate students
engaged in the specialization of brain imaging.
In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical
Engineering Handbook stands as the definitive reference to the
multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our knowledge
continues to grow, and so does the Handbook. For the third edition,
it has grown into a set of six books carefully focused on
specialized areas or fields of study. Each one represents a concise
yet definitive collection of key concepts, models, and equations in
its respective domain, thoughtfully gathered for convenient access.
Combined, they constitute the most comprehensive, authoritative
resource available. Circuits, Signals, and Speech and Image
Processing presents all of the basic information related to
electric circuits and components, analysis of circuits, the use of
the Laplace transform, as well as signal, speech, and image
processing using filters and algorithms. It also examines emerging
areas such as text to speech synthesis, real-time processing, and
embedded signal processing. Electronics, Power Electronics,
Optoelectronics, Microwaves, Electromagnetics, and Radar delves
into the fields of electronics, integrated circuits, power
electronics, optoelectronics, electromagnetics, light waves, and
radar, supplying all of the basic information required for a deep
understanding of each area. It also devotes a section to electrical
effects and devices and explores the emerging fields of
microlithography and power electronics. Sensors, Nanoscience,
Biomedical Engineering, and Instruments provides thorough coverage
of sensors, materials and nanoscience, instruments and
measurements, and biomedical systems and devices, including all of
the basic information required to thoroughly understand each area.
It explores the emerging fields of sensors, nanotechnologies, and
biological effects. Broadcasting and Optical Communication
Technology explores communications, information theory, and
devices, covering all of the basic information needed for a
thorough understanding of these areas. It also examines the
emerging areas of adaptive estimation and optical communication.
Computers, Software Engineering, and Digital Devices examines
digital and logical devices, displays, testing, software, and
computers, presenting the fundamental concepts needed to ensure a
thorough understanding of each field. It treats the emerging fields
of programmable logic, hardware description languages, and parallel
computing in detail. Systems, Controls, Embedded Systems, Energy,
and Machines explores in detail the fields of energy devices,
machines, and systems as well as control systems. It provides all
of the fundamental concepts needed for thorough, in-depth
understanding of each area and devotes special attention to the
emerging area of embedded systems. Encompassing the work of the
world's foremost experts in their respective specialties, The
Electrical Engineering Handbook, Third Edition remains the most
convenient, reliable source of information available. This edition
features the latest developments, the broadest scope of coverage,
and new material on nanotechnologies, fuel cells, embedded systems,
and biometrics. The engineering community has relied on the
Handbook for more than twelve years, and it will continue to be a
platform to launch the next wave of advancements. The Handbook's
latest incarnation features a protective slipcase, which helps you
stay organized without overwhelming your bookshelf. It is an
attractive addition to any collection, and will help keep each
volume of the Handbook as fresh as your latest research.

Keiser has developed this readable tour through the basics and
cutting edge applications of optical communications for
non-specialist engineers and lower tech readers. Broken into short,
20-25 page modules, complete with illustrations and sidebars, this
is a completely new approach to the topic, ideal for use in the
classroom, independent study, or corporate training.
