Written by one of the pioneers in the field, this unique reference provides researchers, engineers, and system designers with detailed, interdisciplinary coverage of the theoretical underpinnings, main characteristics, and primary applications of EDFAs. Packed with information on important system experiments and the best experimental results to date as well as over 1,400 references to the expanding literature, \u003ci\u003eErbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates such key areas as:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eModeling light amplification in Er-doped single-mode fibers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFundamentals of noise in optical fiber amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhotodetection of optically amplified signals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpectroscopic properties of erbium glass fibers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain, saturation, and noise characteristics of EDFAs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevice and system applications of EDFAs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn so doing, the book sheds light on many new frontiers of knowledge, such as inhomogeneous modeling and nonlinear photon statistics, and demonstrates the many broadening benefits of EDFAs, including their polarization insensitivity, temperature stability, quantum-limited noise figure, and immunity to interchannel crosstalk. With the demand for transoceanic and terrestrial communications growing at a steady rate of 25% a year, the arrival of \u003ci\u003eErbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers\u003c\/i\u003e—destined to significantly expand the capabilities of today's hard-pressed lightwave technology-couldn't be more timely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eEMMANUEL DESURVIRE\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. For four years he was a member of the technical staff at AT\u0026amp;T Laboratories which did pioneering work in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. In 1993 Dr. Desurvire received the IEEE’s Distinguished Lecturer Award. In 1994, he joined Alcatel-Alsthom Recherche in France. He is a contributor to the book \u003ci\u003eFiber Lasers and Amplifiers\u003c\/i\u003e and is the author or coauthor of more than 90 technical papers. He received his Diploma of Advanced Studies in the field of theoretical physics from the University of Paris in 1981 and his PhD in physics from the University of Nice two years later. He spent two years in postdoctoral research at Stanford University.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 August 2002\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Interscience\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780471264347\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e800\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378795671692,"sku":"9780471264347","price":133.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780471264347.jpg?v=1780176324","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780471264347","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
