Systems Engineering: Concepts, Tools and Applications

This book discusses the concepts, tools and applications of systems engineering. Chapter One presents the implementation of automated measuring system for measuring chromatic dispersion (CD). Chapter Two discusses the results regarding the optimization of phase based EOM (electro optical modulator) as the most important component in CD measurement setup, then investigates the results of CD measurement characterizations based on different lengths of fiber, different wavelengths and different RF frequencies. Chapter Three provides a review on optical waveguide sensor using ion-exchange technology. Chapter Four examines silver nano particle ion-exchanged glass waveguide technology. Chapter Five highlights the major advantages of using graphical modelling languages in a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) context and describes the main features of SysML, the modeling language that the authors believe to be 'the dialect' for MBSE. Chapter Six provides a complex system analysis for engineering of systemic failures.
