OPTICAL AND FIBER COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS The Optical and Fiber Communications Reports (OFCR) book series provides a survey of selected topics at the forefront of research. Each book is a topical collection of contributions from leading research scientists that gives an up-to-date and broad-spectrum overview of various subjects. The main topics in this expanding field will cover for example:

       

specialty fibers (periodic fibers, holey fibers, erbium-doped fibers) broadband lasers optical switching (MEMS or others) polarization and chromatic mode dispersion and compensation long-haul transmission optical networks (LAN, MAN, WAN) protection and restoration further topics of contemporary interest.

Including both general information and a highly technical presentation of the results, this series satisfies the needs of experts as well as graduates and researchers starting in the field. Books in this series establish themselves as comprehensive guides and reference texts following the impressive evolution of this area of science and technology. The editors encourage prospective authors to correspond with them in advance of submitting a manuscript. Submission of manuscripts should be made to one of the editors.
