Review of book with title ‘Optoelectronic devices and Optical fiber communication’ Author: Prof. Parthasarathi Chakrabarti In modern science and technology Optoelectronics and Optical fiber Communication are two of the rapidly growing fields that deal with the transmission of data, voice and video over optical fiber throughout the globe. The subject focuses on the development of optical fiber communication systems and optoelectronic devices that are used to transfer data between two points. This book deals with semiconductor optoelectronic devices and components that find a major application in optical fiber communication and elaborately describes optical communication systems and their application in modern low-loss and high-bandwidth transmission systems as an alternative to conventional electrical communication systems. A comprehensive list of references to the original works related to the evolution of optical fiber communication systems. One of the key areas of research in Optoelectronics and Optical Communication is Photonics. Photonics is the study of the generation, detection, and control of light. Photonic systems are used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications over long distance and metropolitan area network, sensing, and data storage. Photonics has been a major driving force in the development of fiber optic communication systems, which are now widely used in domestic and defence research. The application of LASER in fiber optic communication yields higher bandwidth, reliability and cost effectiveness. Optoelectronic devices are used in the underwater optical communication systems and terrestrial atmospheric optical communication systems. This book nicely illuminates nature of light and its various theories, fiber optic material and its fabrication technologies, Optical waveguides, Transmission characteristic of optical fibers, Active and Passive optical devices like transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, splitters, couplers, absorbers, wavelength division multiplexers/demultiplexers, tunable and fixed filters, attenuators, isolators, polarizer, modulators are the devices that emit, transport, amplify, switch, route or detect optical signals and in turn constitute the building blocks for optical networking equipment and analogue / digital optical links. In this book the optoelectronic materials and devices are discussed with reference to various aspects of communication elaborately. This book is very useful for UG and PG students of optical fiber communication system and its suitable accessories. This book is basically ‘A treatise on optoelectronic devices and optical fiber communication’, which is the result of a herculean task by Professor (Dr.) Parthasarathi Chakrabarti, a renowned educationist with unfathomable knowledge in various fields of science and technology. Students of college and universities, research associates shall get most benefit from this book which is a major contribution of Prof. (Dr.) P. Chakrabarti.
