Optical communication systems

by John Gowar

This volume provides single-source coverage of the key aspects and components of the optical communication system -- the fiber itself, the components used for the optical source and the detector, and the receiver and general system considerations. It covers the semi-classical approach to the propagation of radiation through matter, the development of semiconductor theory directed from the beginning towards III-V semiconductors and optoelectronic components, and some elementary theory of communications.
