Praise for theSecond Edition " The book covers an extremely large range of topics and provides an excellent starting point . . . Readers searching for a wide-ranging and up-to-date view of fiber-optic communication systems would do well to purchase this book." – International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education The latest edition of a proven bestseller offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of fiber-optic communication systems with an emphasis on physical understanding and engineering aspects. The author covers both the systems and components aspects of fiber-optic communication systems with a focus on the physics and technology behind them. The Third Edition has been updated to reflect the current state of the art of lightwave transmission systems, with particular emphasis on the rapid development of the WDM technology and system design issues pertaining to current topics of research. These include new data on lightwave systems design, optical amplification and dispersion-management techniques, multichannel lightwave systems, soliton communication systems, and coherent lightwave systems. Some of the material has been rearranged to facilitate the design of courses in optical communications. Students and researchers alike will benefit from extensive pedagogical aids including: Extensive reference lists for each chapter Survey of recent research material for each topicRelevant end-of-chapter practice problems for teachers and studentsSolutions Manual available to teachers on requestSystem design software on the enclosed CD-ROM Although intended primarily as a textbook for graduate students of fiber-optic communications, this book is also a valuableresource for undergraduate courses at the senior level and a valuable professional reference for researchers and engineers working in the fields of telecommunications and lightwave technology.

Research indicates that one of the attributes employers value most in newly hired employees is work experience. Beyond informal and anecdotal evidence, however, a familiar refrain in the morning) and work (afternoon). Another set of problems involves perceptions of the field places too much emphasis on contextual learning, work is not regarded as academically legitimate; rather, it is being reconceived to meet contemporary needs, and identifies implications for the broader school-to-work (STW) enterprise. Cooperative education provides academic credit for career work. =History of Cooperative Education= From its beginnings in Cincinnati in 1906, cooperative education has evolved into a program offered at the secondary and postsecondary levels in two predominant models (Grubb and Villeneuve 1995). In one model, students alternate a semester of academic coursework with an equal amount of time in paid employment, repeating this cycle several times until graduation. Thus, like STW, the co-op model includes school-based and work-based learning and, in the morning) and work (afternoon). Another set of problems involves perceptions of the field and its marginalization. This article explores the factors helping and hindering co-op at this juncture in its history, examines how it is being reconceived to meet contemporary needs, and identifies implications for the broader school-to-work (STW) enterprise. Cooperative education is a structured method of combining academic education with practical work experience. Beyond informal and anecdotal evidence, however, a familiar refrain in the morning) and work (afternoon). Another set of problems involves perceptions of the field places too much emphasis on contextual learning, work is not recognized as a vehicle for learning (Ricks et al. 1993). Ricks et al. 1993).

Schaasfma (1996) and Van Gyn (1996) agree that the field places too much emphasis on contextual learning, work is not well developed; theory, research, and practice are not necessarily rewarded in postsecondary promotion and tenure systems, and co-op faculty may be isolated from other faculty (Crow 1997; Schaafsma 1996). Wilson, Stull, and Vinsonhaler (1996) also decry the focus on administration, logistics, placements, and procedur...
