This reference presents a system analysis of the fibre-optic gyro. Drawing on 15 years of research and developments, it describes the concepts that have emerged as the preferred solutions for obtaining a practical device, and provides access to the information needed to know about optics, single-mode fibre optics and integrated optics to understand the fibre gyro.

DWDM (dense-wavelength division multiplexing) is a method of providing increased broadband information delivery through existing fiber-optic systems. DWDM and optical networks will form the future backbone of worldwide communications as they allow data transmission at terabits per second, a speed that until recently was hardly conceivable. The book gives individuals a clear and comprehensible introduction to DWDM and its use in the coming generation of optical networks.

This book covers the use of accessible natural fibers towards the requirement and compatibility of industrial sustainability. Using natural characteristics of composites through technology and techniques, the inherent qualities of natural fibers are discussed in relation to the design of experiments. This book also elaborates on the durability of composites subjected to environmental conditions, biodegradability, environmental issues, product life cycle assessment and testing methods. Offers de...

Viable new solutions to some of the most daunting problems in highly irregular fiber optics This comprehensive, self-contained volume addresses a wide range of special fiber-optics problems, most of which are treated for the first time. A particular focus of the book is circular light transmission, which has not yet received sufficient attention compared with the development of linear light transmission. Also treated in detail are spun low birefringent fiber, twist-induced circular birefringence...
