Review

"Fiber Optic Essentials lives up to its name. In fewer than 300 pages, you will learn about the
fundamentals of fiber optics, from the fiber itself to the transmitters and receivers to the design
of FO systems. Youll also get a brief exposure to network protocols and to fiber-optic applications
outside of communications, such as medical imaging." - Martin Rowe, Senior Technical Editor -
Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2006
