Optical Fibers and RF - Electromagnetic Waves by Malcolm Romeiser Hardcover

About the Book

In this text, Romeiser explains basic optical concepts, applications, and systems including the nature and performance characteristics of optical fibers, and optical sources, connectors, and splices. Subsequent chapters explore current applications of FO technology, all without an intimidating amount of mathematical derivations.

Book Synopsis

The optical fiber industry has experienced a period of consolidation and reorganization and is now poised for a new surge in growth. To take advantage of that growth, and to respond to the demand to use fiber more efficiently, designers need a better understanding of fiber optics. Taking the approach that optical fibers are an extension of RF-based communications, the author explains basic optical concepts, applications, and systems; the nature and performance characteristics of optical fibers; and optical sources, connectors and splices. Subsequent chapters explore current applications of fiber optic technology. Appropriate for use as a college text, this is an accessible and thorough treatment of fiber optics, without an intimidating amount of mathematical derivations.
