Description
Optical Fiber Telecommunications V (A&B) is the fifth in a series that has chronicled the progress in the research and development
of lightwave communications since the early 1970s. Written by active authorities from academia and industry, this edition not only brings
a fresh look to many essential topics but also focuses on network management and services. Using high bandwidth in a cost-effective manner
for the development of customer applications is a central theme. This book is ideal for R&D engineers and managers, optical systems implementers,
university researchers and students, network operators, and the investment community.
Volume (A) is devoted to components and subsystems,
including: semiconductor lasers, modulators, photodetectors, integrated photonic circuits, photonic crystals, specialty fibers, polarization-mode
dispersion, electronic signal processing, MEMS, nonlinear optical signal processing, and quantum information technologies. Volume (B)
is devoted to systems and networks, including: advanced modulation formats, coherent systems, time-multiplexed systems, performance monitoring,
reconfigurable add-drop multiplexers, Ethernet technologies, broadband access and services, metro networks, long-haul transmission, optical
switching, microwave photonics, computer interconnections, and simulation tools.
Biographical Sketches
Ivan
Kaminow retired from Bell Labs in 1996 after a 42-year career. He conducted seminal studies on electrooptic modulators and materials,
Raman scattering in ferroelectrics, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers (DBR , ridge-waveguide InGaAsP and multi-frequency), birefringent
optical fibers, and WDM networks. Later, he led research on WDM components (EDFAs, AWGs and fiber Fabry-Perot Filters), and on WDM local
and wide area networks. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a recipient of the IEEE/OSA John Tyndall, OSA Charles
Townes and IEEE/LEOS Quantum Electronics Awards. Since 2004, he has been Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University
of California, Berkeley.
Tingye Li retired from AT&T in 1998 after a 41-year career at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs.
His seminal work on laser resonator modes is considered a classic. Since the late 1960s, He and his groups have conducted pioneering
studies on lightwave technologies and systems. He led the work on amplified WDM transmission systems and championed their deployment
for upgrading network capacity. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of
Engineering. He is a recipient of the IEEE David Sarnoff Award, IEEE/OSA John Tyndall Award, OSA Ives Medal/Quinn Endowment, AT&T Science
and Technology Medal, and IEEE Photonics Award.
Alan Willner has worked at AT&T Bell Labs and Bellcore, and he
is Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California. He received the NSF Presidential Faculty Fellows Award
from the White House, Packard Foundation Fellowship, NSF National Young Investigator Award, Fulbright Foundation Senior Scholar, IEEE
LEOS Distinguished Lecturer, and USC University-Wide Award for Excellence in Teaching. He is a Fellow of IEEE and OSA, and he has been
President of the IEEE LEOS, Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE/OSA J. of Lightwave Technology, Editor-in-Chief of Optics Letters, Co-Chair of
the OSA Science & Engineering Council, and General Co-Chair of the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics.
For nearly three
decades, the OFT series has served as the comprehensive primary resource covering progress in the science and technology of optical fiber
telecom. It has been essential for the bookshelves of scientists and engineers active in the field. OFT V provides updates on considerable
progress in established disciplines, as well as introductions to new topics. [OFT V]... generates a value that is even higher than that
of the sum of its chapters.
Herwig Kogelnik, Vice President Adjunct, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent
... is a comprehensive and
authoritative coverage of the latest research advances and development trends in the field, while upholding the highest standards of
scholarly exposition and practical perspective. The wealth of material on innovative technologies and advanced applications will serve
as an important and timely information resource ... for the advancement of telecommunications world-wide.
Leping Wei, CTO, China
Telecom
Lightwave systems constitute the nervous system of the industrial world and continue to evolve as innovations are introduced
with enormous economic impact. The editors have very skillfully brought together authoritative chapters written by well known experts,
encompassing new technologies that are enabling the rapid advances to their commercial deployment. This is a "must-have" book ...
Henry Kressel, Managing Director, Warburg Pincus
Anyone ... will want to have a copy of this latest edition ... which carries
on the tradition of bringing together a wonderful collection of authors, world-renowned experts all, to discuss the most important areas
of this rapidly changing technology. ... this volume has evolved to include, not only updates of previous topics, but also considerably
more discussion of networks and network services.
Donald B. Keck, Corning, Inc. (retired)
Much has happened since the last
edition. ROADM-based metro networks are being widely deployed, optical monitoring is becoming essential, new modulation formats are enabling
efficient bandwidth utilization, and deployed FTTH has 1 Gbit/s shared rates. All these ... are expertly reviewed by an impressive set
of authors, each highly active, well-known and respected. In all ... a timely, highly valuable, well-written and comprehensive view presented
by the world's experts.
