Descripción

Photodetectors and Fiber Optics is an outgrowth of the recently published 10-volume set Handbook of Advanced Electronic and Photonic Materials and Devices. The objective of this book is to present a highly coherent coverage of photodetectors and optical fibers.

This book overs a broad spectrum of photodetectors, including types of materials, their fabrication, physical properties, and industrial applications. Many industries around the world are engaged in developing fiber optics technology for the new millennium. The applications of photodetectors in fiber optics and the role of optical fibers in present communication technology are extensively discussed.
