Reflecting the growing importance of multi-mode transmission media in communications, radar, sensors, remote sensing, and many other industrial applications, this work presents analytic methods for calculating the transmission statistics of microwave and optical components with random imperfections. The emphasis here is on multi-mode waveguides, optical fibers, and directional couplers-described by the coupled line equations with random parameters-as well as multi-layer optical coatings used as windows, mirrors, or filters. The author clearly explains how to calculate the transmission statistics of these devices in terms of their coupling or optical thickness statistics, in both the time and frequency domains. This unique resource for engineers and researchers involved in the design of multi-mode transmission media: Focuses on matrix techniques and the various types of problems to which they can be applied Incorporates many new results developed by the author Discusses applications to problems of significant practical interest Demonstrates a purely analytical approach-not using Monte Carlo or other simulation methods

Rowe was born on January 29, 1927 to Edward and Joan Rowe of Chicago, Illinois. Rowe grew up in Chicago and Waukeegan, Illinois.
He returned to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, completing his Bachelor of Science, Mississippi, and Doctor of Science degrees there between 1948-1952.
He began his university studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1943, at the age of 16. He enlisted in the United States Navy on his 17th birthday and served from 1944-1946. After graduation from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined Bell Laboratories in New Jersey.
While there, he jointly developed with J. M. Manley the Manley–Rowe relations, mathematical expressions developed originally for electrical engineers to predict the amount of energy in a wave that has multiple frequencies.
He remains an Emeritus Professor.
