One Up From Technician's Hanbook!

This is a good book that goes beyone those intro to fiber optics books (that left out the equations and engineering technologies). It's basically a non-equation book for engineers, rather than techs or curious fans of fiber optics (it does get a wee bit complicated).

This book goes into more detail on fiber optic components, applications (networks), manufacturing (packaging, semiconductor fab techniques etc) and touches on curring edge devices (well, the book is 2 years old...).

I'd recommend it if you want to know what your engineers and boss are talking about. It's not the book to grab if you're going to start designing routers or waveguides (you'd probably know the stuff in the book if you're given the job to do such things...)
