Up to now, anyone interested in studying the fast-moving field of fiber optic communications has had to be satisfied with books that concentrate only on point-to-point links. In Fiber Optic Networks, Paul Green updates the conventional material, focusing on the dynamic developments in fiber optic networks and treating point-to-point links and one-to-many distribution systems as special cases.
From the Back Cover
Providing a unified, cross-disciplinary treatment of fiber optic networks, this reference generalizes existing books that focus on point-to-point fiber-optic links to the more modern issue of fiber optic networks of links. Aimed at communications research and development people -- including communications carriers, those involved with fiber optics, and equipment suppliers to the carriers and cable TV fiber optic sectors -- the book includes coverage of: Key FEATURES: optical devices and subsystems for bridging the EE-Compsci. cultural gaps the organization, architecture and protocols of entire systems for easier comprehension by device people explanations of how things work, rather than that they work in such-and-such a way the most up-to-date coverage available on fiber optic networks and scores of figures and problems, including pictures of real devices and diagrams of real systems.
