This book provides a step-by-step discussion through each topic of fiber optics. Each chapter explores theoretical concepts of principles and then applies them by using experimental cases with numerous illustrations. The book works systematically through fiber optic cables, advanced fiber optic cables, light attenuation in optical components, fiber optic cable types and installations, fiber optic connectors, passive fiber optic devices, wavelength division multiplexing, optical amplifiers, optical receivers, opto-mechanical switches, and optical fiber communications. It includes important chapters in fiber optic lighting, fiber optics testing, and laboratory safety.

Abdul Al-Azzawi, PhD, has worked in the photonics manufacturing industry, research (NRC/Canmet), and teaching atAlgonquin College, Ontario, Canada. While employed at NRC, he participated in studying energysaving in a residential building and developing the green building assessment programme. As aphotonics engineer, he designed new production lines, modified products, developed manufacturingprocess, and designed new jigs. At Algonquin College, he has taught mechanical and photonics courses in the mechanical and photonics engineering programmes. He was a member of the founding team of the Photonics Engineering Programmes.

Reviews for Fiber Optics: Principles and Advanced Practices, Second Edition

Experiments are detailed and thorough, which make it easy for the students to understand and perform experiments, as well as compare the results with the theory. Adding a laser technology chapter in the current edition is certainly a positive approach to introduce new lasers. - Kaisar R. Khan, McNeese State University, Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA The practical approach and integration of the experimental work with the guiding text is very useful. This book provides some of the basic methods used in optical fiber systems in a very readable form with practical advice and steps to follow. -John Girkin, Durham University, United Kingdom The book is easy to read. It is written for a wide range of readers' background. The book emphasizes the practical aspects of fiber optics and its applications. -Nagwa Bekir, California State University Northridge, USA ... it could be a very useful reference for an instructor teaching a course on fiber optics. -Optics & Photonics News, November 2017
