In Volume II, readers will find coverage of: elements, from the traditional to more recently developed components, such as integrated, micro, binary, gradient index, fiber, and x-ray optics; instruments, from cameras to optical scanners to FLIR systems; measurements, including both the theory and the methodology; and optical and physical properties of material.
Fibre optics; optical fibres and communications; optical fibre communication technologies and systems; fibre optic gratings; optical fibre amplifiers; non-linear effects in fibre optics; solitons; sources, modulators, and detectors for fibre optic communication systems; fibre based couplers, isolators, MUX and deMUX; micro-optics based components for networks; semiconductor optical amplifier and wavelength conversions; fibre optic communications links (telecommunications, data communications, and analogue); time domain multiplexed (TDM) networks; wavelength domain multiplexed (WDM) networks; optical fibre sections; infrared fibres.
