The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the late 1990s resulted in a wealth of new research, techniques, component designs, and understanding of polarization effects in fiber. Polarization Optics in Telecommunications brings together recent advances in the field to create a standard, practical reference for component designers and optical fiber communication engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation in electromagnetism, the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vector formalism of polarization and the interaction of light with media. Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical circulators, fiber collimators, and a variety of applied waveplate and prism combinations. Also included in an extended discussion of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL), their representation, behavior, statistical properties, and measurement. This book draws extensively from the technical and patent literature and is an up-to-date reference for researchers and component designers in industry and academia.

The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the late 1990s
resulted in a wealth of new research, techniques, component designs, and
understanding of polarization effects in fiber. Polarization Optics in
Telecommunications brings together recent advances in the field to create a
standard, practical reference for component designers and optical fiber
communication engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation in
electromagnetism, the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vector
formalism of polarization and the interaction of light with media.
Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical circulators,
fiber collimators, and a variety of applied waveplate and prism
combinations. Also included in an extended discussion of polarization-mode
dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL), their
representation, behavior, statistical properties, and measurement. This

Comprehensive Treatment of Optical Communication,
By
This review is from: Polarization Optics in Telecommunications (Springer Series in Optical Sciences) (Hardcover)
This is a superb study of electrodynamic theory as applied to polarization optics in todays (and tomorrow'a) telecommunication technology. As far as this review knows there is nothing like it available in the field. The book fills a very real need for those in the telecommunications field and for engineers and scientists who want to come up (or return) to speed in modern physical optics.Polarization optics is being used routinely in communication systems, but there has been a need for workers and graduate students to have an entry (as well as an advanced) treatise on the subject. Damask's comprehensive stand-alone volume satisfies this need profoundly. In fact, due to its clear exposition of the frewquently complex material, the volume would make an outstanding text for a grad course in EE and physics. It is highly recommended.
