Components for Optical Fiber Systems

  • Chapter
Optical Fiber Systems and Their Components

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 24))

Abstract

In Chap.2 we reviewed some of the physics of light generation, modulation, and detection, while in Chap.3 we considered the behavior of light as it propagates through the fiber channel. We should now familiarize ourselves with the structure of the actual components that form a communication system, as well as consider the means for coupling them together. Thus, we first review some methods for the fabrication of fibers, and then discuss sources, modulators, and detectors. Coupling problems are treated in Sect.4.5.
