Overview
- The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the late 1990s
- resulted in a wealth of new research, techniques, component designs, and
- understanding of polarization effects in fiber. Polarization Optics in
- Telecommunications brings together recent advances in the field to create a
- standard, practical reference for component designers and optical fiber
- communication engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation in
- electromagnetism, the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vector
- formalism of polarization and the interaction of light with media.
- Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical circulators,
- fiber collimators, and a variety of applied waveplate and prism
- combinations. Also included in an extended discussion of polarization-mode
- dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL), their
