This book presents a high level technical overview of the emerging technologies of
fibre optical communications and optical networking. Written at the “technical
conceptual” level it is intended as an introduction to the field for computer and data
communication professionals. Discussion is descriptive and an effort has been
made to keep the use of mathematics to a minimum. Although it is intended for
professionals who already have some technical background, it is nevertheless
relevant to anyone wishing to understand optical communication.
The primary topics of the book are:
Ÿ Transmission of light on a fibre
Ÿ Optical fibre, lasers, detectors, optical components
Ÿ Use of fibre optics in electronic communications networks
Ÿ Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
Ÿ Optical communications networks
