Description:

The fifth edition of Fiber Optic Communications by Joseph C. Palais marks the book's twentieth anniversary. In the 20 years since the first edition of the book was published, fiber optics systems have become more flexible and less costly and information capacity and transmission length have increased. This edition includes the many new and improved components and system architectures that have been added to the fiber-optic-communications designer's tool kit.

New component discussions describe

Improved fibers that more fully utilize the optical spectrum

Non-zero dispersion shifted fibers

Graded-index polymer fibers

Raman amplifiers

Erbium-doped waveguide amplifiers

Arrayed waveguide gratings

Electroabsorption modulators

Optical micro-electro-mechanical (MEMs) components

Dispersion compensators

Tunable light sources

Tunable filters

Small-form-factor connectors

Non-adhesive splices Expanded coverage of system strategies and considerations include

Optical time-division multiplexing

Dense and coarse wavelength-division multiplexing

Polarization mode dispersion

External modulation

The fifth edition also includes new problems, new figures, new worked examples, and an updated bibliography.
