Fiber-Optic Communication Systems 4th Edition by Govind P. Agrawal (PDF)

Description

This book provides a comprehensive account of fiber-optic communication systems. The 3rd edition of this book is used worldwide as a textbook in many universities. This 4th edition incorporates recent advances that have occurred, in particular two new chapters. One deals with the advanced modulation formats (such as DPSK, QPSK, and QAM) that are increasingly being used for improving spectral efficiency of WDM lightwave systems. The second chapter focuses on new techniques such as all-optical regeneration that are under development and likely to be used in future communication systems. All other chapters are updated, as well.

Editorial Reviews: Review “Despite the otherwise excellent quality of the book, there are also several typos, in the text as well as in the problems.” (Optics and Photonics News, 13 May 2011) From the Inside Flap The definitive guide to fiber-optic communication systems, now fully up-to-dateSInce the release of the previous edition of this proven bestseller, fiber-optic communication systems (FOCS) have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and, due to advantages over electrical transmission, have largely replaced copper wire communications. Now, the Fourth Edition continues this trusted resource’s tradition of providing the most comprehensive FOCS coverage by incorporating the recent advances in the field, emphasizing both the physical understanding and engineering aspects. Featured are two new chapters: one deals with the advanced modulation formats (such as DPSK, QPSK, and QAM) that are increasingly being used for improving spectral efficiency of WDM lightwave systems; the other focuses on new techniques such as all-optical regeneration that are under development and likely to be used in future communication systems. All other chapters have been updated, and material has been restructured to be better suited for a two-semester course on optical communications. Students and researchers alike will benefit from the extensive pedagogical aids, including: Extensive reference lists for each chapterA survey of recent research material for each topicRelevant end-of-chapter practice problems for instructors and studentsA Solutions Manual available to instructors on requestState-of-the-art software on the enclosed website, which students can use to design point-to-point optical links, as well as additional problems for each chapterUsed worldwide as a textbook in many universities, Fiber-Optic Communication Systems is intended primarily for graduate students of fiber-optic communications. It is also a valuable resource for undergraduate courses at the senior level, as well as an indispensable professional reference for engineers and technicians in the telecommunications industry and scientists working in the fields of fiber optics and optical communications.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Very helpful books for anyone with fundamentals in EE but no fiber-optic group. So far I have read only three chapters. Each one starts from the basics and goes to sufficient depths that one can follow the current literature soon after. I would have given it a five-star. I reserve that once I read the entire book.

⭐The best book I know of for understanding real optical communications. It’s perfect for that. We didn’t use this as a textbook in grad school, and I really wish we had. This is the book that contains the right material.

⭐I used this book for a fiber optics course learning the material for the first time, and this book is horrible to work with. As many have said, this book is a REFERENCE to the fiber optic material. It should NEVER be used for learning the material for the first time.

⭐New condition. Good price. Enjoying the book so far.

⭐nice book arrived on time. I thought it was a used book, but it turns out to be pretty new.

⭐great book

⭐This book is quite good book for professional and graduate students. However, might not be suitable for undergraduate students, as it is written in an encyclopedic manner.

⭐Volume utilissimo per fini di accademici. Gli argomenti sono esposti in maniera chiara, dalle basi fino ad abbracciare molteplici aspetti sulla non linearità nella propagazione in fibra. Consigliato

⭐Not found.

⭐初版本から持っていますが、光多値変調や光OFDMなど最新の技術に関する記述が増えていて、使えます！！
