Inhalt:
Erbium Fiber Amplifiers is a comprehensive introduction to the increasingly important topic of optical amplification. Written by three Bell Labs pioneers, the book stresses the importance of the interrelation of materials properties, optical properties, and systems aspects of optical fiber amplifiers. All disc-based content for this title is now available on the Web. Key Features* Explains the theory of noise in optically amplified systems in an intuitive way* The book contains a discussion of components used in amplifier fabrication and of the attendant tec
Anmerkung:
Accompanying computer disk contains the optical amplifier simulation software, OASIX.
