From the author of the best-selling Telecommunications Illustrated Dictionary, this comprehensive reference includes fundamental physics, basic technical information for fiber splicing, installation, maintenance and repair, and follow-up information for communications and other professionals using fiber optic components. Well balanced, well researched, and extensively cross-referenced, it also includes hundreds of photographs, charts, and diagrams that clarify the more complex ideas and put simpler ideas into their applications context."

In addition to furnishing an authoritative, up-to-date resource for relevant definitions, this dictionary introduces many exciting recent applications and hints at emerging future technologies." "Features: provides the only up-to-date lexicon focused exclusively on the science, technology, and applications of fiber optics; contains more than 10,000 entries presented in a clear, encyclopedic format; includes relevant historical information; documents significant new emerging fiber optic technologies; includes almost 300 illustrations and appendices that furnish valuable timelines, recommendations, Internet resources, RFCs, and much more; and includes historical definitions relevant to the evolution of fiber optics."--BOOK JACKET. |
