Fiber Optic Communications is an invaluable learning resource, providing a comprehensible guide to optical fiber communications.  The author presents the topic in an integrative context, giving a thorough understanding of linear systems, electronics, solid state physics, electromagnetics and communications.  The text reviews basic concepts from photonics and device physics, covers light sources, and describes the transmission media, before explaining fiber optic systems in detail.  Modulation techniques, optical amplifiers, and advanced systems and techniques are also given comprehensive coverage.

Fiber Optic Communications:

• Provides a clear, inclusive textbook to modern fibre optic systems.



• Includes a valuable companion laboratory manual with hands-on experiments.



• Incorporates illustrations and examples into each section.



• Contains questions at the end of each chapter to assist learning.



• Integrates MatLAB and Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) to enhance understanding of complex and abstract concepts.

Advanced students in electrical engineering and practising engineers in industry and R&D will find this text a highly accessible introduction to an increasingly important field.
