Optical Fiber Telecommunications 2 vols

The optical fiber communications market is now on the rise due to the development of new applications such as internet video and IPTV (TV accessed through the internet). The major telecoms companies are updating, or planning to update, their optical communication networks, as well as providing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) to make these new applications happen. Consequently, they are looking for new technologies that will make their networks flexible and faster. This book has been the for optical engineers for 27 years. Since the publication of OFT IV five years ago, many new technologies have evolved which will form the basis of future optical engineering applications in the communications and biomedical market. Written by active authorities in the field both from industry and academia, OFT V includes all the newest and most important emerging optical technologies. With this book, engineers will have all the key technologies at their finger tips for future optical component development.
