Fiber Optics Physics and Technology

Fiber Optics Physics and Technology / by Fedor Mitschke.

Telephone, telefax, email and internet -- the key ingredient of the inner workings is the conduit: the line which is designed to carry massive amounts of data at breakneck speed. In their data-carrying capacity optical fiber lines beat other technologies (copper cable, microwave beacons, satellite l...
