Optical Communications Essentials
by: Gerd Keiser
Abstract: Keiser has developed this readable tour through the basics and cutting edge applications of optical communications for non-specialist engineers and lower tech readers. Broken into short, 20-25 page modules, complete with illustrations and sidebars, this is a completely new approach to the topic, ideal for use in the classroom, independent study, or corporate training.
