Polarization Optics in Optical Fibre Communication Systems provides a complete overview of polarization optics as it applies to fibre optic communication systems. It begins with the basics of polarisation optics. This is followed by the physical mechanisms and mathematical descriptions of the polarisation phenomena encountered in the transmission of optical signals in fibre optic channels: such as rotation of state of polarization, polarization mode dispersion and polarization-dependent loss. The book then discusses methods for measurements of polarization mode dispersion and polarization dependent loss, modelling methods of polarization fibre channel, and polarization equalization methods in fibre optic communication systems. This book provides a foundation in polarization optics and the treatment of polarization effects for researchers and engineers who study or work in the field of fibre optic communications.
