This book describes the principles, practices and modeling of optically amplified fiber communications systems using MATLAB and Simulink platforms. This lecture-based book is pleasant and contains careful discussions of a large number of topics dealing with the multifaceted aspects of light-wave optical-fiber communications engineering. Binh does an excellent job of focusing on practical applications and fundamental issues. What sets the book apart from other optical fiber texts is the author’s framing in terms of MATLAB Simulink models. The target audience for Binh’s book includes undergraduate engineering and science students, as well as optical engineers and designers.
