Ultrafast Fiber Switching Devices and Systems
This book discusses ultrafast optical switching devices and systems, which operate at speeds beyond those of normal electronics. Both fundamental physics and engineering applications are treated, and the book provides a complete LOGOUT of some of the key research issues and approaches.
- One of the top people in the field, working in a leading laboratory
- Very exciting, cross-disciplinary area in physics/engineering
- Forefront area of modern communications technology
Reviews & endorsements
"....suitable not only as reference material for a scientist in the field, but useful as an introductory text for graduate students in optical solitons and optical switching in fibers....clear and concise and I believe that it will become an important reference text." Peter Wigley, Optics & Photonics News
