Updated and revised, this second edition provides a coherent presentation of the basic physics behind lasers, along with some of their most important applications. Numerical examples are scattered throughout the book, and problems are included at the end of each chapter.

This comprehensive book provides an introduction to the physical principles of optical fibres, and discusses in detail their use in sensor technology and modern optical communication systems. It will be an ideal textbook for undergraduate or graduate students taking courses in optical fiber communications, photonics, or optoelectronics.

Provides senior undergraduates studying modern optics with a comprehensive account of optics and optical electronics. A large number of solved and unsolved problems are included in the book. The extensive coverage makes it valuable to postgraduates, and also to optical engineers, as a source of basic design information.
