The present book gives a balanced account of traditional optics as well as. It will be an ideal textbook for undergraduate or graduate students taking courses in optical fiber communications, photonics, or optoelectronics. OPTICS Second Edition AJOY GHATAK Department of Physics Indian Institute of. Throughout the book, physical and engineering aspects of the subject are interwoven, and many worked examples and exercises are included. They also treat a wide variety of related topics such as doped fiber amplifiers, dispersion compensation, fiber sensors, and measurement techniques for the characterization of optical fibers. In later chapters they cover optical sources, optical detectors, and fiber-optic communication system design. Introduction to Fiber Optics by Ghatak and Thyagrajan Optoelectronics by Wilson and Hawkes Introduction to Optical Electronics by Keneth E Jones Fiber Optic Communication Technology by Djafer K Mynbaev and Lowell L Scheiner. A light ray from a source goes in a straight line through the air, but when it encounters a lens, prism, or mirror it bends or changes direction. This book introduces the physical principles of optical fibers, and details their use in sensor technology and modern optical communication systems.The authors begin by setting out the basic propagation characteristics of single mode and multimode optical fibers. Geometrical optics is the treatment of the passage of light through lenses, prisms, etc. Recent advances in the development of low-loss optical fibers have revolutionized the field of telecommunications, and fiber-based networks form a key part of international communications systems.
