Network Infrastructure - Valparaiso

This book is an ideal text for aspiring engineers and a valuable professional reference for those involved in optics, telecommunications, electronics, photonics, and digital signal processing.

This book addresses the exponential growth in materials, applications, and cross-functional relevance of the many convergent disciplines making optical engineering possible, including nanotechnology, MEMS, (MOEMS), and biotechnology. Integrates Coverage of MOEMS, Optics, and Nanobiotechnology, and their market applications. This book describes everything from core principles and fundamental relationships, to emerging technologies and practical application of devices and systems, including fiber-optic sensors, integrated and electro-optics, and specialized military applications.

This book is fully updated for the growing demand of fiber optics for large-scale communications networks and telecommunication standards. Part I of this book covers LAN Networks and Cabling Systems offers comprehensive coverage on current cabling methodologies and is updated to the latest industry standards. Part II addresses Fiber-Optic Cabling and Components probes deeper into fiber optics, and can be used to prepare for the Fiber Optics Installer (FOI) and/or Fiber Optics Technician (FOT) certifications, two of the Electronic Technician's Association's leading certifications.

This book deals with the basic concepts of geometrical and physical optics, including lasers and fiber optics. It contains numerous diagrams, worked-out examples, and related questions-answers to help readers in the comprehension and appreciation of the concepts.
