Summary

Up to now, anyone interested in studying the fast-moving field of fiber optic communications has had to be satisfied with books that concentrate only on point-to-point links. In Fiber Optic Networks, Paul Green updates the conventional material, focusing on the dynamic developments in fiber optic networks and treating point-to-point links and one-to-many distribution systems as special cases.

Features


offers a non-classical approach "What properties of fiber optic communication will allow us to do things very differently?"
explores the system architecture and technology issues for three different kinds of structure: the point-to-point link, the single station-to-multistation multipoint, and the any-to-any connected network.
discusses WHY a system works and outlines the quantitative development of HOW each process in a system works.
