Description
SPRINGER Ultra-High Frequency Linear Fiber Optic Systems 2009 Edition by KAM Y. LAU, OLAV SOLGAARD, JOHN PARK
This book provides a concise but rigorous treatment of the theory behind analog and digital fiber-optics links and system issues. The book reduces the complex subject to simple core explanations and interpretations. It is designed for a one-semester course on fiber-optics systems and communication links. Attention is paid both to the digital links prevalent in traditional telecommunication networks and to the analog links important in cable modem distribution networks for Internet service distributions. This broad but concise text will thus be invaluable not only to students of fiber-optics communication but also to practicing engineers. Part I: Physics of high speed lasers.- Basic laser dynamics.- Towards high direct modulation bandwidth through high optical power density.- Towards high direct modulation bandwidth through high differential optical gain and quantum confinement.- Part II: Modulation of semiconductor lasers beyond the limit imposed by relaxation oscillation.- Demonstration of resonant modulation up to 18 GHz in an external-cavity semiconductor laser.- Principle of resonant modulation at millimeter wave frequencies.- Performance of resonant modulation.- Performance of resonant modulation: Experimental.
