A very comprehensive book that I used in grad school is:

Miller, Chynoweth, eds, "Optical Fiber Telecommunications,"
Academic Press, 1979.

This is still very useful for the basics but much of the finer
technology has changed since then.  I believe another edition
is in the process (with Miller and Kaminow as editors).

A more recent book is:

S.D. Personick, "Fiber Optics - Technology and Applications,"
Plenum Press, 1985.

Between these two you will probably find everything you need.
