Summary note
"The Fiber Optics Illustrated Dictionary fills a gap in the literature by providing instructors, hobbyists, and top-level engineers with an accessible, current reference. 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." "Fiber optics is a vibrant field, not just in terms of its growth and increasing sophistication, but also in terms of the people, places, and details that make up this challenging and rewarding industry. 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."--Jacket
