Title Wavelength Filters in Fibre Optics Author(s) Venghaus, Herbert Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006. Description XXIV, 456 p : online resource Abstract Note Wavelength filters constitute an essential element of fibre-optic networks. This book gives a comprehensive account of the principles and applications of such filters, including their technological realisation. After an introductory chapter on wavelength division multiplexing in current and future fibre optic networks follows a detailed treatment of the phase characteristics of wavelength filters, a factor frequently neglected but of significant importance at high bit rates. Subsequent chapters cover three-dimensional reflection of gratings, arrayed waveguide gratings, fibre Bragg gratings, Fabry-Perot filters, dielectric multilayer filters, ring filters, and interleavers. The book explains the relevant performance parameters, the particular advantages and shortcomings of the various concepts and components, and the preferred applications. It also includes in-depth information on the characteristics of both commercially available devices and those still at the R&D stage. All chapters are authored by internationally recognized experts ISBN,Price 9783540317708 Keyword(s) 1. Characterization and Evaluation of Materials 2. Communications Engineering, Networks 3. EBOOK 4.
