Fiber Optics Vocabulary Development In 1979, the National Communications System published Technical InfonnationBulle tin TB 79-1, Vocabulary for Fiber Optics and Lightwave Communications, written by this author. Based on a draft prepared by this author, the National Communications System published Federal Standard FED-STD-1037, Glossary of Telecommunications Terms, in 1980 with no fiber optics tenns. In 1981, the first edition of this dictionary was published under the title Fiber Optics and Lightwave Communications Standard Dictionary. In 1982, the then National Bureau of Standards, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, published NBS Handbook 140, Optical Waveguide Communications Glossary, which was also published by the General Services Admin istration as PB82-166257 under the same title. Also in 1982, Dynamic Systems, Inc. , Fiberoptic Sensor Technology Handbook, co-authored and edited by published the this author, with an extensive Fiberoptic Sensors Glossary. In 1989, the handbook was republished by Optical Technologies, Inc. It contained the same glossary. In 1984, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers published IEEE Standard 812-1984, Definitions of Terms Relating to Fiber Optics. In 1986, with the assistance of this author, the National Communications System published FED-STD-1037A, Glossary of Telecommunications Terms, with a few fiber optics tenns. In 1988, the Electronics Industries Association issued EIA-440A, Fiber Optic Terminology, based primarily on PB82-166257. The International Electrotechnical Commission then pub lished IEC 731, Optical Communications, Terms and Definitions. In 1989, the second edition of this dictionary was published.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Advancing from 2,000 entries in the second edition to 16,000 entries in this edition, Fiber Optics Standard Dictionary offers a comprehensive, illustrated guide of definitions reflecting the latest trends in the design, development, manufacture, installation, operation, application, and maintenance of optical systems and components. Particular emphasis is placed on fiber optic and lightwave communications systems as well as other optical systems, from optical fiber and laser beam transmission systems to interfaces with electronic systems and imaging systems. This one-of-a-kind, exhaustive dictionary covers the current transition from the legacy of electrical, electronic, and radio systems to the latest fiber optic lightwave systems. It offers all those interested or actively engaged with the fields of communications, computers, data processing, and control systems that presently or potentially relate to the fields of fiber optics, lightwave communications, optical sensing, illumination, endoscopy, telemetering, and a myriad of other areas, with a plethora of universally accepted terms that are essential for product performance description. In particular the book is written for scientists and engineers who need to prepare technical papers as well as for the technician who needs to splice or install a direct buried fiber optic cable.
