{"product_id":"optical-communication-systems-andrew-ellis-9789814800280","title":"Optical Communication Systems: Limits and Possibilities","description":"\u003cp\u003eTelecommunications have underpinned social interaction and economic activity since the 19th century and have been increasingly reliant on optical fibers since their initial commercial deployment by BT in 1983. Today, mobile phone networks, data centers, and broadband services that facilitate our entertainment, commerce, and increasingly health provision are built on hidden optical fiber networks. However, recently it emerged that the fiber network is beginning to fill up, leading to the talk of a capacity crunch where the capacity still grows but struggles to keep up with the increasing demand. This book, featuring contributions by the suppliers of widely deployed simulation software and academic authors, illustrates the origins of the limited performance of an optical fiber from the engineering, physics, and information theoretic viewpoints. Solutions are then discussed by pioneers in each of the respective fields, with near-term solutions discussed by industrially based authors, and more speculative high-potential solutions discussed by leading academic groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Ellis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814800287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814800280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Stanford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Andrew Ellis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446720114943,"sku":"9789814800280","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95b9be27-6357-4858-ab51-85c6e2e6ea2e.jpg?v=1777226510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optical-communication-systems-andrew-ellis-9789814800280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
