Description:
Carefully structured to provide practical knowledge of fundamental issues, and fully revised to reflect the latest optical communication techniques and applications, this Second Edition includes new and updated case studies, examples, end-of-chapter problems, and MATLAB(R) and Simulink(R) models that supply a deeper understanding of the current and future state of optical systems and networks. The book fills the need for a text that emphasizes practical computing models that shed light on device behavior and dynamics. A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption.
Review Quotes:
"This book describes the principles, practices and modeling of optically amplified fiber communications systems using MATLAB(R) and Simulink(R) platforms. This lecture-based book is pleasant and contains careful discussions of a large number of topics dealing with the multifaceted aspects of light-wave optical-fiber communications engineering. Binh does an excellent job of focusing on practical applications and fundamental issues. What sets the book apart from other optical fiber texts is the author's framing in terms of MATLAB Simulink models. The target audience for Binh's book includes undergraduate engineering and science students, as well as optical engineers and designers."
--Book Review by Professor Christian Brosseau, Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France, writing in Optics & Photonics News
"This book adds an aspect of programming and simulation not so well developed in other books. It is complete in this sense and enables directly linking the physics of optical components and systems to realistic results."
--Martin Rochette, Associate Professor, McGill University, Quebec, Canada
"...this will be an excellent textbook since it has all new development and information on optical communication systems...I think this book can easily replace many other textbooks in this field."
--Massoud Moussavi, California State Polytechnic University-Pomona
"The book is well written. It describes the fundamentals of fiber optic systems and presents the exact model texts and mathematical formulas which can be used to create practical computing models."
