Field Guide to Optical Fiber Technology

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).

This Field Guide can be purchased on the SPIE website and is also available in the SPIE Digital Library. You will also find it at the SPIE booth during various conferences and exhibitions.
