About the Book

Because internet traffic is growing faster than DSL and cable modems can handle, interest in optical communications is the only technologically feasible way to increase capacity quickly. Optical networks have demonstrated their ability to provide both enormous speed and capacity, making them the technology of choice for capacity-intensive broadband-access applications. Taking the unique "rules of thumb" format that drove the authors' previous title, "Photonics Rules of Thumb", this engineering tool provides over 200 new rules of thumb: short-cuts; tricks and methods that industry vets have developed through long years of trial and error. These practical shortcuts should be particularly valuable for less experienced professionals.

Review :
"They Learned This Stuff The Hard Way, August 25, 2000 Reviewer: Phil Hobbs (see more about me) from Briarcliff Manor, New York USA I'm a great fan of lore books as opposed to textbooks or reference books. Lore books are the ones that contain the things that many people in the field may know, but which they had to learn the hard way, and I like them because they help me learn the easy way! Miller and Friedman have written a fun and very useful lore book, which has helped a lot of electro-optics people (including me) stay out of some nasty potholes. The book is inexpensive, and if you're building or specifying electro-optical systems of any sort, you should own it.
