fiber communications. Such a development might well constitute the
next technology breakthrough.
What everyone knows is that the demand for increased communication capacity will continue for many years to come. There is much invention and ingenuity that will be needed to implement this growth.

New York, Marcel Dekker, 1983. This is a truly excellent book both for
learning the fundamentals of optical fibers and as a reference for engineering optical fibers and optical fiber communications systems. Its treatment
is both rigorous and clear. Especially valuable are the engineering models
and approximations that allow you to design and use optical fibers for real
systems with quantitative accuracy.
