Overview

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are an efficient, cost-effective way to manipulate optical fibers; a process necessary to get the best output from these fibers. One example of this need is in optical networks. Data rates are always on the rise and with this greater speed comes a certain amount of dispersion. FBGs act as a dispersion controller, getting the data to its destination intact. The first edition of Fiber Bragg Gratings was the first ever book on the subject. It has become ""the reference"" in the field. The information provided in this book is essential to researchers, industry manufacturers, and students as the need for FBGs continues with applications in communications and optical sensors. Dr. Kashyap will update all chapters currently in the volume and add approximately 120 pages of new material in two new chapters: Fiber Bragg Gratings Sensors; Glass Poling and Nonlinear Optical Effects in FBGs.* Explains this vital technology from fundamentals to functions * Evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of particular applications, methods and techniques * Contains thoroughly updated material from the first edition plus new chapters on FBG sensors, glass poling and nonlinear optical effects in FBGs
