Field Guide to Optical Fiber Technology
In early 2010, RP Photonics published the “SPIE Field Guide to Optical Fiber Technology”. This handy book (spiral bound, 128 pages), provides an introduction into optical fibers made from various materials, and it also treats fiber nonlinearities, photonic crystal fibers, large mode area fibers, passive fiber-optic components, and active fiber devices (fiber lasers and amplifiers).
Contents
- basics of fibers
- nonlinear effects in fibers
- passive fibers for data transmission
- photonic crystal fibers
- large mode area fibers
- using passive optical fibers
- passive fiber-optic components
- active fiber devices
You can order this Field Guide on the SPIE website. You will also find it at the SPIE booth during various conferences and exhibitions.
