Photonic systems and networks

The book is devoted to the issues of the use of optical transmission in modern telecommunications systems and networks. In addition to the description of the fundamentals of fiber optics, it includes the discussion of photonic systems and networks: transport, access and local, as well as analog systems. The directions of development of photonic techniques in telecommunications were also outlined. At the end of each chapter, questions and tasks are given to check and consolidate the acquired knowledge.
Recipients: students of telecommunications and electronics, as well as engineers dealing with issues related to optical transmission.
