Customer Reviews

Good Book for Starters!

This is a very good introduction to fiber optics and telcom as it relates to fiber optic systems. There isn't really that much in terms of equations, but there's plenty of good information about fiber optics in general. It doesn't go into details as to the actual 'technician' side of fiber optics. Perhaps a book on polishing, characterizing networks and the like would be better. I enjoyed the book since it was easy to read, understand, and had very simple (yet useful) equations.

Concise without being Overwhelming

Provides a comprehensive and fundamental overview of fiber optic methods and design criteria. Like any engineer, once I find a book like this I hang on to it and don't even lend it to my nearest relatives
