Kaminow P. Ivan, Koch L. Thomas (ed.) Optical Fiber Telecommunications III (Volume B)

515 pages, Academic Press, 1997. ISBN: 0-12-395171-2
Fully updated to address the recent advances in lightwave systems, Optical Fiber Telecommunications III, Volumes A & B, provide definitive coverage of the most important aspects of today‘s optical fiber communications technology and give insight into developing research in what has become a multi-billion dollar global industry.
Volume B, written by world-renowned experts in the field, is the second of two expansive volumes that fully cover the advances in lightwave systems and components, in both the commercial and research arenas. The crucial role of the diodepumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier in long distance and WM applications are given thorough analysis, as is silicon optical bench wavelenght technology, photonic switching, and a projection of future developments for the 21st century.Overview
