Single-mode fibers are the most advanced means of transmitting information, since they
provide extremely low attenuation and very high bandwidths. At present, long distance …

The chapter on wave optics introduces Maxwell's equations and derives the wave equation.
The mathematical tools necessary for describing diffraction are derived and then applied to …

Because optical fibers that propagate one mode only are now the most likely candidate for
future long-distance high-capacity communication, there is great interest in their light …

Fundamentals of Optical Fibers, Second Edition offers readers a timely and consistent
introduction to the fundamental principles of light propagation in fibers. In it, the author …

The round dielectric waveguide exhibits a surprising variety of characteristics that are not
accurately inferable from the slab model. The forceful effort of recent years has grately …

A basic, unified reference, rather than a description of the current experimental activity,
presenting the scientific and engineering principles of single-mode optical fibers. It does …

A dielectric fibre with a refractive index higher than its surrounding region is a form of
dielectric waveguide which represents a possible medium for the guided transmission of …

A dielectric fibre with a refractive index higher than its surrounding region is a form of
dielectric waveguide which represents a possible medium for the guided transmission of …

Optical Fiber Telecommunications is organized so that it is understandable to a reader on
the graduate level with no specialized knowledge of lightwave communication and yet …

This book on the theoretical analysis of optiCal waveguide propagation joins the handful of
texts concerned solely with the fundamental physics and mathematics of phenomena …
