Principles And Applications Of Optical Fiber Communications

About The Book

Over the past two decades, the field of fibre optic communications has proliferated. Fibre is a crucial component of today's communication infrastructure and is present in machinery, buildings, hospitals, and even on roads. The telecoms sector has undergone a transformation thanks to fibre optic connection. Additionally, it has established a strong foothold within the data networking industry. Fiber optic cable has made it possible for telecommunications links to be made over much greater distances with much lower levels of transmission medium loss. Perhaps most importantly, fibre optical communications has made it possible to accommodate much higher data rates. Long-distance transmission of light and information is possible using optical fibres. For long-haul optical data transmission, fiber-based systems have largely superseded radio transmitter technologies. They are extensively used for telephony, but they are also utilised for Internet traffic, lengthy high-speed LANs, cable TV, and increasingly, shorter lengths inside buildings. Except over extremely short distances, where plastic optical fibres may be more advantageous, silica fibres are typically utilised. The optical fibre, photo detecting receiver, and light signal transmitter make up the fundamental parts. In order to boost the communication system's performance, extra components such fibre and cable splicers and connectors, regenerators, beam splitters, and optical amplifiers are used. The book provides a thoroughly up-to-date, understandable, and comprehensive introduction to the concepts and uses of optical fibre communications. It outlines the most recent advancements in optical fibre communication components, systems, and components.
