Btw, optical communication is indeed an interesting topic. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good book on this? I would be very interested in a book (let alone web site) that explains the fundamental principles (modulation, dispersion, spectral width, etc) in a great detail, but without making my brain explode with thousands of formulas. (Yeah, I know, it's not an easy request.) For example, why exactly do we need that conditioning cable when connecting a MM cable to a SM interface?
