Review: This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the scientific principles, characterization techniques, and fabrication methods used to design and produce high-quality optical fibres. It begins with an introduction to the history and origin of polymer fibres and the theory of light wave propagation in them. There are also chapters on: fabricating fibres; the theory of refractive index and loss; characterization techniques and properties; transmission, light sources and amplifiers; optical switching; structured fibres and speciality applications; smart fibres and materials; and a look into the future of smart photonic materials.
