Measurement methods are essential for optical system design, performance evaluation, and network maintenance. Engineers developing photonic devices and fiber optic systems, therefore, need a thorough understanding of traditional and modern optical measurement techniques. There have also been many new techniques developed in recent years which today's optical engineers need to fully grasp. This book brings together in one volume the fundamental principles with the latest techniques, making it a complete resource for the optical and communications engineer developing future optical devices and fiber optic systems *The only book to combine explanations of the basic principles with latest techniques to enable the engineer to develop photonic systems of the future *Careful and systematic presentation of measurement methods to help engineers to choose the most appropriate for their application. *The latest methods covered, such as real-time optical monitoring and phase coded systems and subsystems, making this the most up-to-date guide to fiber optic measurement on the market

Author Biography

Dr. Hui (h-index: 20) is a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Kansas. His research interests are in lightwave communication systems and subsystems, photonic devices, optical instrumentation and photonic sensors. Prior to joining the faculty of the University of Kansas in 1997 he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in optical communications, microelectronic circuits, and semiconductor materials & devices for more than 15 years. Dr. Hui was a member of the scientific staff at Bell-Northern Research and Nortel in Ottawa, Canada, where he was involved in the research and development of high-speed optical transport networks. He was a NSF Program Director for the photonic devices program from 2006 to 2008. He served as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications from 2001 to 2007 and an associate editor of IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics from 2006 to 2013.
