Optical Fiber Telecommunications VI (A&B) is the sixth in a series that has chronicled the progress in the R&D of lightwave communications since the early 1970s. Written by active authorities from academia and industry, this edition brings a fresh look to many essential topics, including devices, subsystems, systems and networks. A central theme is the enabling of high-bandwidth communications in a cost-effective manner for the development of customer applications. These volumes are an ideal reference for R&D engineers and managers, optical systems implementers, university researchers and students, network operators, and investors.
Volume A is devoted to components and subsystems, including photonic integrated circuits, multicore and few-mode fibers, photonic crystals, silicon photonics, signal processing, and optical interconnections.
Volume B is devoted to systems and networks, including advanced modulation formats, coherent detection, Tb/s channels, space-division multiplexing, reconfigurable networks, broadband access, undersea cable, satellite communications, and microwave photonics.
- All the latest technologies and techniques for developing future components and systems
- Edited by two winners of the highly prestigious OSA/IEEE John Tyndal award and a President of IEEE's Lasers & Electro-Optics Society (7,000 members)
- Written by leading experts in the field, it is the most authoritative and comprehensive reference on optical engineering on the market
About the Editors
Ivan Kaminow retired from Bell Labs in 1996 after a 42-year career. He conducted seminal studies on electrooptic modulators and materials, Raman scattering in ferroelectrics, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers (DBR, ridge waveguide), birefringent optical fibers, and WDM networks. Later, he led research on WDM components (EDFA, AWG, fiber FP filter) and networks. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a recipient of the IEEE Edison Medal, OSA Ives Medal, and IEEE Photonics Award. Since 2004, he has been Adjunct Professor of EE at the University of California, Berkeley.
Tingye Li (July 1931- Dec. 2012) retired from AT&T in 1998 after a 41-year career at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs. His seminal work on laser resonator modes is considered a classic. Since the late 1960s, he and his groups had conducted pioneering studies on lightwave technologies and systems. He led the work on amplified WDM transmission systems and championed their deployment for upgrading network capacity. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He received the IEEE Edison Medal, OSA Ives Medal, IEEE Photonics Award, and IEEE David Sarnoff Award. He served as President of OSA.
Alan Willner has worked at AT&T Bell Labs and Bellcore, and he is the Steven & Kathryn Sample Chair in Engineering at the University of Southern California. He received the Int'l Fellow of the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering, NSF Presidential Faculty Fellows Award from the White House, Guggenheim and Packard Fellowships, OSA Engineering Excellence Award, and IEEE Photonics Society Engineering Achievement Award. He has served as Co-Chair of U.S. National Academies Study on Optics & Photonics, President of IEEE Photonics Society, and Editor-in-Chief of Optics Letters and IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology.
