Product Description
An excellent primer for students beginning to study the subject, this current edition provides a practical, real-world perspective on the fundamentals of fiber optic technology and optical communications. It examines the reasons that optical fibers are the preferred communications medium, surpassing copper wire in all performance measures. A thorough explanation of how fibers work is offered, as well as useful coverage of other related optical components and how those components fit into system-level applications. Premises (LAN), metro, 10G Ethernet, and long-haul applications are also briefly surveyed.

Good Book for Starters! July 26, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a very good introduction to fiber optics and telcom as it relates to fiber optic systems. There isn't really that much in terms of equations, but there's plenty of good information about fiber optics in general. It doesn't go into details as to the actual 'technician' side of fiber optics. Perhaps a book on polishing, characterizing networks and the like would be better. I enjoyed the book since it was easy to read, understand, and had very simple (yet useful) equations.
Concise without being Overwhelming March 26, 1997
Provides a comprehensive and fundamental overview of fiber optic methods and design criteria. Like any engineer, once I find a book like this I hang on to it and don't even lend it to my nearest relatives
