Editorial Reviews

With the first phase of research completed and the second already underway, summarizes advances in new technologies that will allow communication through optic fibers to code information in frequency and phase modulation and coherent heterodyne- and homodyne-detection schemes and so make it as rich a medium as the electronic wire systems it is replacing. Suitable for graduates and undergraduates in optoelectronics and research engineers in industry. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
