Preface
Within the past few decades, information technologies have been evolving at a
tremendous rate, causing profound changes to our world and our ways of life. In
particular, fiber optics has been playing an increasingly crucial role within the
munication revolution. Not only most long-distance links are fiber based,
but optical fibers are increasingly approaching the individual end users, providing
wide bandwidth links to support all kinds of data-intensive applications such as
video, voice, and data services.
As an engineering discipline, fiber
