Fibre Optics: Theory and Applications

By Serge Ungar and John C.C. Nelson

Acquaints engineers with the technology and associated optics and electronics of optical fibers. Three industrial aspects of fibers are covered: fabrication, interfacing and applications. Chapters 1-3 present the theory and define the characteristics of fiber optics. In Chapters 4-6 the fabrication of fibers and the monitoring techniques used to check the parameter values are described. Chapters 7-10 examine the interface and telecommunication applications, particularly as they relate to transmitting, receiving and coupling. A final chapter presents optical fiber applications in an industrial environment, focusing on transmission and an explanation of the basic methodology required for evaluation of fiber optic links.
