Guided Optics: Optical Fibers and All-fiber Components

Jacques Bures obtained a license degree in Science from Grenoble University (L.Sc.), France, and a Masters and Doctorate from Laval University (M.Sc., D.Sc), Quebec, Canada. He teaches at the Department of Engineering Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique Montreal, Canada. Professor Bures is a founding member of one of today's leading labs in fiber-optic communications science, with many pioneering developments to their credit, including spinoffs of several successful commercial ventures. His research interests include "all-fiber" passive components, fiber characterization, and theory and simulation software.
