Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication.TK7871 2004-060617 0-471-71233-7 Broadband broadband Term describing the radiation from a source that produces a broad, continuous spectrum of frequencies (contrasted with a laser, which produces a single frequency or very narrow range of frequencies). circuits for optical fiber communication. Sackinger, Eduard. Wiley-Interscience, [c]2005 436 p. $89.95 Writing for both professionals and students familiar with basic analog integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for design, Sackinger draws on his extensive experience in the field and from a series of lectures he has given at various seminars. After background information about optical fiber, photodetectors, lasers, and modulators, he discusses five types of broadband circuits: transimpedance amplifiers, limiting amplifiers, automatic gain control amplifiers, laser drivers, and modulator Modulator Any device or circuit by means of which a desired signal is impressed upon a higher-frequency periodic wave known as a carrier. The process is called modulation. The modulator may vary the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier. drives. For each he explains the main specifications and how they relate to system performance, and he illustrates with practical implementations taken from the literature. Also included are problem sets at the end of each chapter, with answers in the appendices ap·pen·di·ces n.
