Editorial Reviews

A basic, unified reference, rather than a description of the current experimental activity, presenting the scientific and engineering principles of single-mode optical fibers. It does, however, update discussions to reflect developments since the 1983 first edition, particularly those spurred by the deregulation of the U.S. telecommunications industry, which has resulted in the dominance of single-mode over multimode fibers in North America. The chapters cover basic theory, birefringence properties, attenuation, signal distortion, characterization, passive components, telecommunication applications, sensor applications, and nonlinear optical effects.
