Fiber optics is now the backbone of the internet and long-distance telecommunication. Without it we would not enjoy the benefits of high-speed internet, or low-rate international telephone calls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book introduces the basic concepts of fiber-optic communication in a pedagogical way. The important mathematical results are derived by first principles rather than citing research articles. In addition, physical interpretations and real-world analogies are provided to help students grasp the fundamental concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLucid explanation of key topics such as fibers, lasers, and photodetectors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes recent developments such as coherent communication and digital signal processing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive treatment of fiber nonlinear transmission.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorked examples, exercises, and answers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanying website with PowerPoint slides and numerical experiments in MATLAB.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntended primarily for senior undergraduates and graduates studying fiber-optic communications, the book is also suitable as a professional resource for researchers working in the field of fiber-optic communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShiva Kumar\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McMaster University, Canada\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eM.
