When I attended college we studied vacuum tubes in our junior year. At that time an average radio had ?ve vacuum tubes and better ones even seven. Then transistors appeared in 1960s. A good radio was judged to be one with more thententransistors. Latergoodradioshad15 20transistors and after that everyone stopped counting transistors.

The difference between 20 and 20M is in complexity, methodology and business models. Designs with 20 tr- sistors are easily generated by design...

Das Buch behandelt zunachst die Grundlagen der Optik und vermittelt die fundamentalen Kenntnisse strahlungs-physikalischer Groen. Im zweiten Teil werden ausfuhrlich optoelektronische Lichtquellen und Detektoren vorgestellt. Als typische Anwendung der Optoelektronik beschreibt der Autor die Lichtwellenleitertechnik aus optoelektronischer und nachrichtentechnischer Sicht. Die Abschnitte werden durch Zahlenbeispiele, rekapitulierende Fragen und Ubungsaufgaben erganzt. Das Literaturverzeichnis weist auf umfangreiche Spezialliteratur zu jedem Kapitel hin.
