Fiber Optic Technology
Applications in Commercial,
Industrial,
Military and Space Optical
Systems
| This book covers the design of
Fiber Optic (FO) systems, including performance data on a wide
range of devices. The author avoids complex mathematics, but offers equations that describe FO components and systems. Readability is enhanced through numerous figures, diagrams and graphs. This book is recommended for graduate students, project managers, research scientists, optical engineers and consultants. The book summarizes application of FO components in industrial, commercial, military and space systems. Beginning with characteristics of optical fiber such as the core, cladding, and jacket, the author surveys capabilities and limitations. Important mathematical expressions are provided, as well as resources for additional study. This book is is a valuable resource for anyone needing to know more about the development of electro-optics, photonics and opto-electronics. |
