This reference work by Eduard Sackinger provides a clear overview of broadband circuits for optical fiber communication. Intended for professionals and advanced students, the book covers the main types of broadband circuits and their applications in optical communication systems.
Description
The book covers five main types of broadband circuits: transimpedance amplifiers, limiting amplifiers, automatic gain control (AGC) amplifiers, laser drivers, and modulator drivers. In addition, it provides essential background information on optical fiber, photodetectors, lasers, modulators, and receiver theory. For each circuit type, the specifications are explained and illustrated with practical examples in MESFET, HFET, BJT, HBT, BiCMOS, and CMOS technologies. The circuits are especially relevant for digital transmissions between 2.5 and 40 Gb/s, used in systems such as SONET, SDH, and Gigabit Ethernet. Burst-mode circuits for passive optical networks and analog circuits for hybrid fiber-coax applications are also covered.
The textbook includes various learning aids such as chapter overviews, practice questions with answers, product examples, and appendices on, among other things, eye diagrams, differential circuits, and S-parameters. This makes it a comprehensive guide for in-depth study and practice-oriented knowledge of circuits for optical fiber communication.
