Applications of Non Linear Fiber Optics

The majority of the new technology is contained in this book. In the first few chapters, the author discusses the importance of fiber optics and the components that make it up, such as couplers and gratings, which are the main components of fiber technology. Certain fiber optic cables contain rare earth elements, such as lasers and amplifiers. Agrawal examines the significant nonlinear applications of fiber optics in the later chapters. This category includes fiber optic communication systems, solution-based transmission algorithms, and pulse compression techniques. This book is essential for readers interested in super-fast fiber speed connections and applications of optical lasers. It can also be used by students and professionals in industries such as engineering of fiber optic cables.

Kumar, S., & Deen, M. J. (2014). Fiber Optic Communications: Fundamentals and Applications. John Wiley & Sons.

Kumar and Deen in make an introduction to fiber optic concepts in a chronological order by starting with the most basic concepts of light. Also, the derivation of important mathematical calculations and designs are derived from basic principles instead of using references that have already established some of the basic derivations. Furthermore, they provide real life cases of the application and the quantitative interpretations of possible set ups. This is important in helping students get the optics concept from scratch. Every topic in the book has lucid explanations of the technology used and has included most recent research developments like signal processing and extensive research on nonlinear transmission. There are also several calculation problems and their solutions at the end of every chapter. This book mainly targets undergraduate students majoring in fiber optic studies.
