Lightwave Technology: Telecommunication Systems

Lightwave Technology: Telecommunication Systems Review



The state of the art of modern lightwave system design

Recent advances in lightwave technology have led to an explosion of high-speed global information systems throughout the world. Responding to the growth of this exciting new technology, Lightwave Technology provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the underlying theory, development, operation, and management of these systems from the perspective of both physics and engineering.

The first independent volume of this two-volume set, Components and Devices, deals with the multitude of silica- and semiconductor-based optical devices. This second volume, Telecommunication Systems, helps readers understand the design of modern lightwave systems, with an emphasis on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems.
* Two introductory chapters cover topics such as modulation formats and multiplexing techniques used to create optical bit streams
* Chapters 3 to 5 consider degradation of optical signals through loss, dispersion, and nonlinear impairment during transmission and its corresponding impact on system performance
* Chapters 6 to 8 provide readers with strategies for managing degradation induced by amplifier noise, fiber dispersion, and various nonlinear effects
* Chapters 9 and 10 discuss the engineering issues involved in the design of WDM systems and optical networks

Each chapter includes problems that enable readers to engage and test their new knowledge to solve problems. A CD containing illuminating examples based on RSoft Design Group's award-winning OptSim optical communication system simulation software is included with the book to assist readers in understanding design issues. Finally, extensive, up-to-date references at the end of each chapter enable students and researchers to gather more information about the most recent technology breakthroughs and applications.

With its extensive problem sets and straightforward writing style, this is an excellent textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Research scientists and engineers working in lightwave technology will use this text as a problem-solving resource and a reference to additional research papers in the field.


Optical Bit Error Rate: An Estimation Methodology

Optical Bit Error Rate: An Estimation Methodology Review



Optical Bit Error Rate: An Estimation Methodology provides an analytical methodology to the estimation of bit error rate of optical digital signals. This presents an extremely important subject in the design of optical communications systems and networks, yet previous to the publication of this book the topic had not been covered holistically.

The text lays out an easy-to-understand analytical approach to a highly important and complex subject: bit error rate (BER) estimation of a transmitted signal with a focus on optical transmission. It includes coverage of such important topics as impairments on DWDM optical signals, causes of signal distortion, and identification and estimation of the signal quality by statistical estimation of the bit error rate. The book includes numerous illustrations and examples to make a difficult topic easy to understand. This edition includes a CD-ROM with run-time simulations from a vendor that provides commercial software for the industry.

Lightwave: Webster's Timeline History, 1979 - 2007

Lightwave: Webster's Timeline History, 1979 - 2007 Review



Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Lightwave," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Lightwave in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Lightwave when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Lightwave, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Orbs, Lightwaves, and Cosmic Consciousness: Interacting with Beings from Another Dimension

Orbs, Lightwaves, and Cosmic Consciousness: Interacting with Beings from Another Dimension Review



This book is one woman's personal account of her interaction with the orbs phenomenon, what she learned from it, and how it helped her heal her grief due to the loss of her only child, her son, Eric, who was only 27 when he died. Following a brief background of her personal story, Underwood also relates some of what she had learned earlier in her life from her puzzling, mysterious draw over many years to the new sciences: quantum physics, chaos theory and fractals, complexity and consciousness. She shows how, interestingly enough (in retrospect), that had helped to prepare her to deal with what was to come and the abyss she fell into believing her life was over--not only from her son's death but also, years later, from breast cancer and a radical mastectomy. She describes how -- having been "led" out of the abyss (her "dark night of the soul") -- she discovered firsthand...through a variety of experiences...the multi-dimensional possibilities of being a participant the living Cosmos. Following a "spontaneous emergency" kundalini experience (explained in the book), an opening within her emerged that, among other things, raised her energy frequency levels such that the orbs and "light-waves" (as she calls them) responded to her and began interacting and communicating with her. The full-color photographs in the book -- taken over a period of only a year's time -- together with the stories of these encounters -- reveal the full wonder and mystery of these meetings with highly intelligent beings from another dimension. A series of back-to-back synchronicities (outlined in the book) are fascinating facts of this story -- as throughout these months of photographing she is led to find exactly the right book, meet and hear from exactly the right people who come into her life, and learn exactly what she was searching for and needed to know at exactly the right time to help her understand not only the full context of her life experiences but also to learn who she really is....who we all really are. This book represents her humbled expression of her joy, wonder, and immense gratitude for all of it.
