Book Description
AN INTRODUCTION TO FIBER OPTICS SYSTEMS, 2/e, is suitable for students and professionals. The theme and key competitive advantage offered by the book is its pragmatic approach to the study of fiber optics in communications. The text integrates diverse elements of fiber optics and provides a clear picture of how they are used in fiber optics communication. By introducing the terminology used in fiber optics, and describing the building blocks of an optical fiber system, Powers' text permits students to process the initial design of optical links, and to understand the tradeoffs made in designing and using a fiber optics communication line.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Overall this book is a great textbook. The author explains many of the topics clearly although it falls short (only one short chapter) in the subject of incorporating fiber optics into communication systems. There are a lot of errors in the book and the student must always turn to the errata. The problems at the end of the chapter are a bit easier than most technical textbooks. Good examples to show how equations are used.
