Elliptical Fiber Waveguides

by Richard B. Dyott, R. B. Dyott

Overview

Here's your one-stop guide to the design and application of elliptical dielectric waveguides and fibers. Written by one of the pioneers of optical-fiber technology, it shows you the theoretical basis of the technology, demonstrates the practical uses for elliptical fibers, guides you through design criteria and trade-offs, and gives you immediate access to collected data and references on the topic.

Optics & Laser Technology

Introduces an approach to sorting out the thousands of messages carried by fiber optic cables once they get where they are going, using a fiber with an elliptical section so that the geometry of the waveguide splits the fundamental mode into two orthogonally polarized modes. Elliptical fibers are also drawing interest for applications such as rare-earth-doped fiber sources and amplifiers, and neutralizing group delay in communication. Among the topics are higher order modes, fiber construction and measurement, the D fiber, and sensor and other applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
