This book is dedicated to
All the engineers and scientists worldwide who worked in laser photonics and lightwave
technologies foroptical fibercommunications over the last 40 years,
for they are the ones who have collectively and successfully made the modern global
information infrastructure based on worldwide optical fiber telecommunications
networks a reality, which in turn transformed the human communications and
ushered the entire human civilization into the new era of ubiquitous broadband.
