Book Synopsis
An excellent primer for students beginning to study the subject, there is equal emphasis on both the theory of fiber and its applications in communications. There is a thorough explanation and description of how fiber differs from copper wire as well as a useful perspective on how fiber is used.
Booknews
Describes the advantages of fiber over copper, the basic components of a fiber-optic system, and how fiber-optics systems are put together. The third edition expands coverage to dense wavelength- division multiplexers and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
