Download or read book Polarization in Optical Fibers written by A. J. Rogers and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential book analyzes polarization effects, including non-linear effects, and their influence in communications and sensing. You get full details on telecom system degradation caused by PMD, PDL, and PDG and techniques for mitigating it, plus insight into the effects and consequences of polarization on solitons, amplifiers, and switches. Fiber polarization in sensing applications is explained through detailed treatment of such key issues as stress/strain, displacement, point sensing, and distributed sensing.
