Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

While there are books treating individual topics contained in this book, this will be the first single volume providing a cohesive treatment on this subject as a whole. This goes beyond optical communications in that it includes related topics such as sensing, displays, computing, and data storage.

CHOICE Review

This book summarizes and reviews various aspects of optical sciences as applied in communications technology. The 12 chapters are contributed by 16 authors including editors Yu (Pennsylvania State Univ.), Jutamulia (Blue Sky Research, California), and Yin (Pennsylvania State Univ.). Chapter 1 introduces the theoretical relation between optics and information theory; chapter 2 reviews the elements of optical signal processing; and chapter 3 describes the principles of fiber optic communication. Chapter 4 discusses optical switches used for communication and parallel processing; chapter 5 treats integral transforms, which can be performed optically in parallel; and chapter 6 considers optical interconnects based on polymer films. Chapter 7 discusses optical pattern recognition techniques; chapter 8 describes information storage in the optical domain including holographic memory, 3D memory, and near-field optics; and chapter 9 reviews digital optical computing. Chapter 10 presents the principles of optical fiber sensors; the next chapter introduces selected optical display techniques; and the last chapter provides an overview of fiber optic networks. References and exercises are included at the end of each chapter. Suitable for graduate students. O. Eknoyan Texas A&M University
