Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book is written specifically for upper level courses in the theory and application of optical fiber communication technology offered in electrical engineering or physics departments. It progresses systematically from descriptions of the individual elements of a communication link to analyses of digital and analog networks designs - ending with discussions of measurement techniques for evaluating components and systems.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Overview of optical fiber communications -- Optical fibers: structures, waveguiding and fabrication -- Signal degradation in optical fibers -- Optical sources -- Power launching and coupling -- Photodetectors -- Optical receiver operation -- Digital transmission systems -- Analog systems -- Coherent optical fiber communications -- Advanced systems and techniques.
