Practical Fiber Optics
Paperback Edition: 1
Fibre optics is a technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibres) to transmit data. A fibre optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fibre optics have several advantages over traditional
metal communications lines.While there are plenty of theoretical texts on fibre optics, high-level engineering texts and installation guides, there are few comprehensive applied texts for practicing engineers. This book covers design issues, installation and troubleshooting in the right depth for engineers working in industry. This is a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of fibre optic systems and their individual components including fibres, cable construction, connectors, splices and optical sources and detectors. The book places emphasis on practical techniques of component installation and system design.Readers may find this knowledge useful to develop the required techniques for design, installation and maintenance of their own fibre optic systems.
Contents:
Introduction to fibre optic systems; definitions and fundamental principles; theory of fibre optic transmission; fibre optic cable construction; connecting fibres; optical drivers and connectors; installing fiber optic cables; fibre optic system design; testing of fibre optic systems; technologies that use optical fibres. Appendices: list of vendors and products; specification sheets.
