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.
