Fiber-Optic Communication Systems, 5th edition delivers brand-new updates and developments in the science of fiber-optic communications. The book contains substantial additions covering the topics of coherence detection, space division multiplexing, and more advanced subjects. You’ll learn about topics like fiber losses, dispersion, and nonlinearities, as well as coherent lightwave systems. The latter subject has undergone major changes due to the extensive development of digital coherent systems over the last decade. Space-division multiplexing is covered as well, including multimode and multicore fibers developed in just the last ten years.
