Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication
by Eduard Säckinger

Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication is an expert guide to the new and emerging field of broadband circuits for optical fiber communication.

Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication makes it easy for readers to enter into and deepen their knowledge of the new and emerging field of broadband circuits for optical fiber communication.

Five types of broadband circuits are discussed in detail:

  • Transimpedance amplifiers
  • Limiting amplifiers
  • Automatic gain control (AGC) amplifiers
  • Lasers drivers
  • Modulator drivers
Essential background on optical fiber, photodetectors, lasers, modulators, and receiver theory is presented to help readers understand the system environment in which these broadband circuits operate.

For each circuit type, the main specifications and their impact on system performance are explained and illustrated with numerical values. Next, the circuit concepts are discussed and illustrated with practical implementations.

A broad range of circuits in MESFET, HFET, BJT, HBT, BiCMOS, and CMOS technologies is covered. Emphasis is on circuits for digital, continuous-mode transmission in the 2.5 to 40 Gb/s range, typically used in SONET, SDH, and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Burst-mode circuits for passive optical networks (PON) and analog circuits for hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) cable-TV applications also are discussed.

Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication is a superior learning tool for upper-level undergraduates and graduate-level students in circuit design and optical fiber communication.

Unlike other texts that concentrate on analog circuits in general or mostly on optics, Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication provides balanced coverage of electronic, optic, and system issues.

Professionals in the fiber optic industry will find this book an excellent reference, incorporating the latest technology and discoveries in the industry.
