Designed for a one-semester course on fiber-optics systems and communication links, this book provides a concise but rigorous treatment of the theory behind analog and digital fiber-optics links and system issues. Attention is paid both to the digital links prevalent in traditional telecommunication networks and to the analog links important in cable modem distribution networks for Internet service distributions. Problems such as the effects of dispersion and interferometric noise are described and quantified and the means of mitigating them are explained. This broad but concise text will thus…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Designed for a one-semester course on fiber-optics systems and communication links, this book provides a concise but rigorous treatment of the theory behind analog and digital fiber-optics links and system issues. Attention is paid both to the digital links prevalent in traditional telecommunication networks and to the analog links important in cable modem distribution networks for Internet service distributions. Problems such as the effects of dispersion and interferometric noise are described and quantified and the means of mitigating them are explained. This broad but concise text will thus be invaluable not only to students of fiber-optics communication but also to practicing engineers.
Autorenporträt
Kam Y. Lau is Professor emeritus in the EECS department at U.C. Berkeley. He received his B.S., M.S.and Ph.D degrees in 1978, 1978 and 1981 respectively; all in Electrical Engineering from Caltech. Upon obtaining his doctorate, he joined Ortel Corporation as founding staff/chief scientist. His research in semiconductor laser dynamics established fundamental limits in speed and linearity of directly modulated laser diodes, which contributed to linear fiber-optic transmission products for Hybrid-Fiber-Coax (HFC) infrastructure widely deployed today for CATV-distribution and cable-modem internet-access - the basis of Ortel s successes - its IPO and subsequent acquisition by Lucent/Agere. He received the 1996 IEEE LEOS William Streifer Scientific Achievement Award, the 1996 IEEE LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Award, the 2008 OSA Nicholas Holonyak Award, the 2009 IEEE David Sarnoff Award and the 2009 IET J.J. Thomson Medal. He was an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columb

ia University from 1988-90, and a professor of EECS at U.C. Berkeley since 1990. In 1997, he co-found LGC Wireless, Inc. ( L of LGC .) LGC Wireless delivers cost-effective in-building wireless coverage and capacity solutions around the world. LGC Wireless was acquired by ADC Telecom (NASDAQ: ADCT) in 2007. Prof. Lau assumed Emeritus status in 2005.
