Description

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. Fibre 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 via optical fibres. Radio transmitter technologies have been mainly supplanted by fiber-based systems for long haul optical data transmission. The book provides a thoroughly up-to-date, understandable, and comprehensive introduction to the concepts and uses of optical fibre communications. It discusses the most recent advancements in optical fibre communication components, technologies, and materials.
