This new and revised Fifth Edition of Fiber Optic Communications incorporates coverage of significant advances made in the fiber industry in recent years to present a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the basics of communicating using optical fiber transmission lines. Students will learn system design as well as operating principles, characteristics, and application of the components that comprise fiber-optic systems.

Joseph Palais joined the faculty in 1964 and is the graduate program chair and an Emeritus Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He is also academic director of online and professional programs for the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. He has published a textbook on fiber optics. The book has been translated into Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Persian. He has contributed chapters to numerous books, written more than 41 research articles in refereed journals, and presented more than 35 papers at scientific meetings. He has presented more than 150 short courses on fiber optics.

Palais is a Life Fellow of the IEEE, elected for contributions to university and continuing education, primarily in the area of fiber optical communications.In 1999 he was presented the Conferences and Professional Programs (CaPP) Faculty Service Award from the University Continuing Education Association, Washington, 1999.

In recognition of his contributions to continuous education (particularly in the area of fiber optics), he received the IEEE Educational Activities Board Meritorious Achievement Award in Continuing Education in 1993. Dr. Palais was presented the IEEE Phoenix Section 1974 Annual Achievement Award for Contributions to Education, Academic and Industrial Research, and IEEE Technical Activities.

Palais is a Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at Arizona State University (ASU) where he has been teaching since 1964. He is the ECEE Graduate Program Chair.

Prior to his work at ASU, Palais worked as a Microwave Engineer for Motorola and for Stanford Research Institute. In 1973 he served as a Visiting Associate Professor at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.

Professor Palais, longtime graduate program chair, and his wife Sandra, established the Palais Outstanding Doctoral Student Award. This award is presented annually to the best graduating doctoral student in the electrical engineering program.

Five years later, the pair introduced the Palais Doctoral Student award, which is presented annually to the best graduating doctoral student in the electrical engineering program. The students selected are nominated by faculty members, have at least a 3.75 GPA and have at least one journal or conference publication.

Established in 2016, the faculty award is bestowed on an outstanding all-around faculty member teaching in the electrical engineering program. The faculty member must demonstrate excellence in teaching, research and service. The monetary award is gifted annually.

Even with a legacy well established through the three awards, and his residency on campus, Palais has no plans on going anywhere soon. He is looking ahead to a post-pandemic world and hoping to establish office hours at Mirabella to help advise future electrical engineers.

After receiving his doctorate from the University of Michigan, Palais joined the engineering faculty at ASU in 1964. Retiring 47 years later, he continues to serve as graduate program chair in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering.

His research interests include fiber-optic communications, holography and distance education. He delivered more than 150 short courses in fiber optics to organizations throughout the U.S. and for the ASU online enterprise (initially the ASU Center for Professional Development and subsequently the Global Outreach and Extended Education program, for which he serves as academic director).

The Daniel Jankowski Legacy Award was established in 2001 to honor the distinguished academic career of the late Daniel Jankowski, a professor for 40 years in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering until his retirement in 2004. He earned his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan and became a respected authority for his expertise in fluid mechanics.

Michael Kozicki has been a researcher and professor of electrical engineering at Arizona State University in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering for nearly 35 years. He has continually stood out as a leader in education, research and public service. Kozicki holds 55 U.S. patents and 32 international patents. He invented the technology that underpins Conductive Bridging Random Access Memory, or CBRAM, an ultra-low-energy data storage technology for computers being commercialized by several companies.

Kozicki has earned national and international recognition as a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, a visiting professor at the University of Edinburgh, an adjunct professor at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology and a Chartered Engineer in the United Kingdom. He has also been committed to student mentorship, quality instruction and program development. Kozicki was one of the first people at ASU to integrate entrepreneurship and business principles into engineering courses.

Bruce Rittmann joined ASU in 2004, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of environmental biotechnology. He went on to found the Swette Biodesign Center for Environmental Technology and has served as the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on 123 funded research projects, accounting for more than $14.8 million in research expenditures.

Sandra Houston joined ASU in 1984. After arriving at the university, driven by student interest, she quickly, became interested in the field of unsaturated soil mechanics, a subfield of geotechnical engineering. Now, 30 years later, she has helped build ASU into a leader in the field with a dedicated unsaturated soils research lab and multiple faculty members working in the area.

Initially hired as an assistant professor, Houston was one of only a few female faculty members in engineering at ASU. In 1996, she was appointed department chair for Civil and Environmental Engineering, a post she held until 2006. At the time of her appointment, there were less than five female civil engineering chairs in the country.

Throughout his entire career, he has maintained a close relationship with software development firms in the state working on joint research projects, developing industry training programs and serving as a software engineering consultant. He is also very active in software engineering education projects and outreach to local high schools.

Adams has received numerous accolades for his excellence in teaching including the 1996 Bradley Stoughton Award for Young Teachers from ASM International, which is presented to only one professor in the United States each year, the Outstanding Service and Dedication to Students of ASU award from the Associated Students of ASU. He was presented the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1991 and named a Fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2003.

He is a Life Fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, elected for contributions to university and continuing education, primarily in the area of fiber optical communications. Palais has also been awarded the Conferences and Professional Programs (CaPP) Faculty Service Award from the University Continuing Education Association, the IEEE Educational Activities Board Meritorious Achievement Award in Continuing Education and the IEEE Phoenix Section 1974 Annual Achievement Award for Contributions to Education, Academic and Industrial Research, and IEEE Technical Activities.
