DESCRIPTION:
"Good Book on the Subject" according to Mr. Kenley C. Vogt. All in all this is a good book on the subject, it has a more math than I like, but the Author does a good job with the history of undersea cables, power budgets, repeaters (erbium light pumps), terminal equipment, cable construction (my favorite section), and marine installation and maintenance. I recommend this . S. Lentz said A Good Technical Reference. This book provides an excellent, in-depth discussion of the technology of submarine cable telecommunications systems. It assumes no prior knowledge, so is appropriate as an introduction to the topic, but also provides enough detail to serve as a reference for those involved in the industry. Although published in . Five Stars Amazon customer 2 Great book reviewing submarine optical communications!
Govind joined the Indian Institute of Technology at New Delhi in 1969 and received the M.Sc. He conducted seminal studies on electrooptic modulators and materials, Raman scattering in ferroelectrics, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers (DBR , ridge-waveguide InGaAsP and multi-frequency), birefringent optical fibers, and WDM networks. After heading the equipment Development of the Submarine and Terrestrial Network Divisions, he was CTO of Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks up to 2014. He was awarded a gold medal for achieving the top position in the university. His research interests focus on quantum electronics, nonlinear optics, and optical communications. Later, he led research on WDM components (EDFAs, AWGs and fiber Fabry-Perot Filters), and on WDM local and wide area networks. About the Author
Since 2004, he has been Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.Ivan Kaminow retired from Bell Labs in 1996 after a 42-year career. 1997), and "Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Optics" (Academic Press, 2001).

The book provides a full overview of the evolution in the field and conveys the dimension of the large undersea projects. The role played by submarine-communication systems in the development of high-speed networks and associated market demands for multiplying Internet and broadband services is also covered.Importance of This TopicThis book will fill the gap between highly specialized papers from large international conferences and broad-audience technology review updates. DescriptionThis book provides a detailed overview of the evolution of undersea communications systems, with emphasis on the most recent breakthroughs of optical submarine cable technologies based upon Wavelength Division Multiplexing, optical amplification, new-generation optical fibers, and high-speed digital electronics. In addition, the book uncovers the myths surrounding marine operations and installations in that domain, which have remained known so far to only very few specialists.
