<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>I have written this book to ?ll a void between theory and practice, a void that Iperceivedwhileconductingmyownresearchanddevelopmentofcomponents and instruments over the last ?ve years. In the chapters that follow I have pulled materials from the technical and patent literature that are relevant to the understanding and practice of polarization optics in telecommuni- tions, material that is often known by the respective experts in industry and academia but is rarely if ever found in one place. By bringing this material intoonemonograph, andbyapplyingasingleformalismthroughout, Ihopeto create a "base level" upon which future research and development can grow. Polarization optics in telecommunications is an ever-evolving ?eld. Each yearsigni?cantadvancementsaremade, punctuatedbyimportantdiscoveries. The references upon which this book is based are only a snap-shot in time. Areasthatremainunresolvedatthetimeofpublicationmayverywellbecl- i?ed in the years to come. Moreover, the focus of the ?eld changes in time: for instance, there have been few passive nonreciprocal component advancements reported in the last few years, but PMD and PDL advancement continues with only modest abatement.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the late 1990s</p> <p>resulted in a wealth of new research, techniques, component designs, and</p> <p>understanding of polarization effects in fiber. Polarization Optics in</p> <p>Telecommunications brings together recent advances in the field to create a</p> <p>standard, practical reference for component designers and optical fiber</p> <p>communication engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation in</p> <p>electromagnetism, the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vector</p> <p>formalism of polarization and the interaction of light with media.</p> <p>Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical circulators, </p> <p>fiber collimators, and a variety of applied waveplate and prism</p> <p>combinations. Also included in an extended discussion of polarization-mode</p> <p>dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL), their</p> <p>representation, behavior, statistical properties, and measurement. This</p> <p>book draws extensively from the technical and patent literature and is an</p> <p>up-to-date reference for researchers and component designers in industry</p> <p>and academia.</p>
