Fiber-optic communication systems have advanced dramaticallyover the last four decades, since the era of copper cables,resulting in low-cost and high-bandwidth transmission. Fiber opticsis now the backbone of the internet and long-distancetelecommunication. Without it we would not enjoy the benefits ofhigh-speed internet, or low-rate international telephone calls. This book introduces the basic concepts of fiber-opticcommunication in a pedagogical way. The important mathematicalresults are derived by first principles rather than citing researcharticles. In addition, physical interpretations and real-worldanalogies are provided to help students grasp the fundamentalconcepts. Key Features: Lucid explanation of key topics such as fibers, lasers, andphotodetectors. Includes recent developments such as coherent communication anddigital signal processing. Comprehensive treatment of fiber nonlinear transmission. Worked examples, exercises, and answers. Accompanying website with PowerPoint slides and numericalexperiments in MATLAB. Intended primarily for senior undergraduates and graduatesstudying fiber-optic communications, the book is also suitable as aprofessional resource for researchers working in the field offiber-optic communications.
