The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the
late 1990s resulted in a wealth of new research, techniques,
component designs, and understanding of polarization effects in
fiber. Polarization Optics in Telecommunications brings together
recent advances in the field to create a standard, practical
reference for component designers and optical fiber communication
engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation in electromagnetism,
the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vector formalism of
polarization and the interaction of light with media.
Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical
circulators, fiber collimators, and a variety of applied
waveplate and prism combinations. Also included in an extended
discussion of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and
polarization-dependent loss (PDL), their representation,
behavior, statistical properties, and measurement. This book
draws extensively from the technical and patent literature and is
an up-to-date reference for researchers and component designers
in industry and academia.
