FIBER OPTICS: PRINCIPLES AND ADVANCED PRACTICES

This book provides a step-by-step discussion through each topic of fiber optics. Each chapter explores theoretical concepts of principles and then applies them by using experimental cases with numerous illustrations. The book works systematically through fiber optic cables, advanced fiber optic cables, light attenuation in optical components, fiber optic cable types and installations, fiber optic connectors, passive fiber optic devices, wavelength division multiplexing, optical amplifiers, optical receivers, opto-mechanical switches, and optical fiber communications. It includes important chapters in fiber optic lighting, fiber optics testing, and laboratory safety. Features Offers a broad yet complete survey of all aspects of fiber optics technology, from principles to industrial applications Explores theoretical concepts and then demonstrates how these principles apply to real-world examples Includes a systematic approach to fiber optic cables Discusses standard tools, equipment, an
