Introduction to Fiber Optics
- Book Review,
by JOHN CRISP
Book News, Inc.
Suitable for engineers, technicians, students, hobbyists, and installers who are intending to use optical fibers or need to understand how they are used. Since no mathematical or technical background is assumed, calculations are always accompanied by a fully worked answer. Furthermore, when dealing with equipment such as cleavers, splicers, and OTDRs, a representative example of each type is given. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved

Softcover.
From the Publisher
After a thorough introduction to the subject, ideas are developed so as to ensure that new knowledge is built on firm foundations, and with emphasis on the areas that have proved the most difficult. In keeping with this approach, new terms are never used without being properly introduced and the main terms used in specifications and catalogues are described and typical values quoted. Furthermore, when dealing with equipment such as cleavers, splicers, OTDRs etc., a representative example of each type is used, thus concentrating on the principles involved which can then be transferred to another model as appropriate. At the end of each chapter there are multiple-choice questions, the answers to which are at the back of the book and where calculations are involved, a fully worked answer will be provided. There is a useful glossary included at the end of the book.
