Microwave photonics is an important interdisciplinary field that, amongst a host of other benefits, enables engineers to implement new functions in microwave systems. With contributions from leading experts, Microwave Photonics: Devices and Applications explores this rapidly developing discipline. It bridges a gap between microwave and photonic engineering, providing an accessible interpretation of the current available research material and a detailed introduction to various aspects of the area...

Fibre optics is an important constituent of modern information technology. One major economic benefit offered by fibre optics is the high information transmission rate at low cast per circuit-km. Since the late 1970s, industrially advanced nations around the world have been striving to deploy fibre optics in almost every sector of communication, including computer network and data links. As an important byproduct of this phenomenal progress, a new class of ultra-sensitive optical sensors and dev...

As optoelectronic applications become more prevalent, the demand for technicians trained in this speciality grows. This text-lab manual provides a comprehensive study of the use of optical electronic devices, circuits, and fibre optics in industrial controls, data transmission, and telecommunications. The practical orientation of "Optoelectronics" enables students to prepare such tasks as troubleshooting optoelectronic devices or developing circuits that meet specific requirements. "Optoelectron...

This is a complete and authoritative introduction to optical technology for communications engineers that includes detailed coverage of the latest emerging technologies. The book begins with an overview of contemporary telecommunications infrastructure and the characteristics of optical fiber technology. Uyless Black presents a detailed introduction to timing and synchronization in optical networks, as well as today's SONET/SDH optical transport network standards. He introduces today's powerful...

The use of fibre optic sensors in structural health monitoring has rapidly accelerated in recent years. By embedding fibre optic sensors in structures (e.g. buildings, bridges and pipelines) it is possible to obtain real time data on structural changes such as stress or strain. Engineers use monitoring data to detect deviations from a structure's original design performance in order to optimise the operation, repair and maintenance of a structure over time. Fibre Optic Methods for Structural He...
