دانلود کتاب Polarization Optics in Telecommunications

The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the late 1990sresulted in a wealth of new research, techniques, component designs, andunderstanding of polarization effects in fiber. Polarization Optics inTelecommunications brings together recent advances in the field to create astandard, practical reference for component designers and optical fibercommunication engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation inelectromagnetism, the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vectorformalism of polarization and the interaction of light with media.Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical circulators,fiber collimators, and a variety of applied waveplate and prismcombinations. Also included in an extended discussion of polarization-modedispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL), theirrepresentation, behavior, statistical properties, and measurement. Thisbook draws extensively from the technical and patent literature and is anup-to-date reference for researchers and component designers in industryand academia.
