Optical fibre devices

J.P Goure, I Verrier0750308117, 9780750308113, 9781420033731

This book reflects the substantial progress made in the area of optical fibres and provides for the first time a systematic description of linear and non-linear fibre devices, including fibre couplers, splices, connectors, multiplexers, switches and modulators.
Primarily aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in optics, optoelectronics, applied physics and electrical and electronic engineering, Optical Fibre Devices will also serve as a valuable reference for scientists and engineers working in optoelectronics and related fields in industry and academic.
