Optical fiber communicationsThe third edition of this popular text and reference book presents the fundamental principles for understanding and applying optical fiber technology to sophisticated modern telecommunication systems.. Optical-fiber-based telecommunication networks have become a major information-transmission-system, with high capacity links encircling the globe in both terrestrial and undersea installations. Numerous passive and active optical devices within these links perform complex transmission and networking functions in the optical domain, such as signal amplification, restoration, routing, and switching. Along with the need to understand the functions of these devices comes the necessity to measure both component and network performance, and to model and stimulate the complex behavior of reliable high-capacity networks. |

From Eq. (2-59) approximately 5 percent of the power propagates in the cladding.
If A is decreased to, say 0.003, in order to decrease signal dispersion (see Chap.
3), then 242 modes propagate in the fiber and about 9 percent of the power ...

Noise margin is the percentage ratio of the peak signal voltage Vj for an
alternating bit sequence (defined by the height of the eye opening) to the
maximum signal voltage V2 as measured from the threshold level, as shown in
Fig. 9-23. that is, ...
