An expert guide to the new and emerging field of broadband circuits
for optical fiber communication

This exciting publication makes it easy for readers to enter into
and deepen their knowledge of the new and emerging field of
broadband circuits for optical fiber communication. The author's
selection and organization of material have been developed, tested,
and refined from his many industry courses and seminars. Five types
of broadband circuits are discussed in detail:

* Transimpedance amplifiers

* Limiting amplifiers

* Automatic gain control (AGC) amplifiers

* Lasers drivers

* Modulator drivers

Essential background on optical fiber, photodetectors, lasers,
modulators, and receiver theory is presented to help readers
understand the system environment in which these broadband circuits
operate. For each circuit type, the main specifications and their
impact on system performance are explained and illustrated with
numerical values. Next, the circuit concepts are discussed and
illustrated with practical implementations. A broad range of
circuits in MESFET, HFET, BJT, HBT, BiCMOS, and CMOS technologies
is covered. Emphasis is on circuits for digital, continuous-mode
transmission in the 2.5 to 40 Gb/s range, typically used in SONET,
SDH, and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Burst-mode circuits for
passive optical networks (PON) and analog circuits for hybrid
fiber-coax (HFC) cable-TV applications also are discussed.

Learning aids are provided throughout the text to help readers
grasp and apply difficult concepts and techniques, including:

* Chapter summaries that highlight the key points

* Problem-and-answer sections to help readers apply their new
knowledge

* Research directions that point to exciting new technological
breakthroughs on the horizon

* Product examples that show the performance of actual broadband
circuits

* Appendices that cover eye diagrams, differential circuits, S
parameters, transistors, and technologies

* A bibliography that leads readers to more complete and in-depth
treatment of specialized topics

This is a superior learning tool for upper-level undergraduates and
graduate-level students in circuit design and optical fiber
communication. Unlike other texts that concentrate on analog
circuits in general or mostly on optics, this text provides
balanced coverage of electronic, optic, and system issues.
Professionals in the fiber optic industry will find it an excellent
reference, incorporating the latest technology and discoveries in
the industry.
