This book provides a particularly good discussion of the electromagnetics of light in bounded media (i.e., fibers). It is the only book that treats the two complementary topics, fiber and integrated optics. It provides a careful and thorough presentation of the topics that make it well suited for self-study. Includes numerous figures, problems and worked-out solutions. It discusses all the topics essential to modern optical communication systems including optical fibers, quantum electronics, optical amplifiers, and lasers among others. It concludes with a chapter that applies the design skills developed throughout the book to realistic problems in fiber optic communication systems. It is heavily illustrated with over 300 figures specially formatted to aid in comprehension.
