Acquaints engineers with the technology & associated optics & electronics of optical fibers. Three industrial aspects of fibers are covered: fabrication, interfacing & applications. Chapters 1-3 present the theory & define the characteristics of fiber optics. In Chapters 4-6 the fabrication of fibers & the monitoring techniques used to check the parameter values are described. Chapters 7-10 examine the interface & telecommunication applications, particularly as they relate to transmitting, receiving & coupling. A final chapter presents optical fiber applications in an industrial environment, focusing on transmission & an explanation of the basic methodology required for evaluation of fiber optic links.Ungar, Serge is the author of 'Fibre Optics : Theory and Applications', published 1990 under ISBN 9780471927587 and ISBN 0471927589.
