Springer Impact of Nonlinearities on Fiber Optic Communications: 7 (Optical and Fiber Communications Reports, 7)

As well as focusing on the impact of fiber nonlinearities on system performance, this book examines recent progress in fiber-optic communication systems, with pioneers in the field contributing material for a comprehensive survey of the most important topics. Review From the reviews:“This reference discusses the most recent contributions to nonlinear impairment in fiber optics communications. … should be of interest to professionals and graduate students in the fields of optical sciences, physics and applied mathematics. … this book connects the important issue of high demands for a large channel capacity with high spectral efficiency and flexible network design. … this highly recommendable book analyzes all-optical regenerator schemes for phase encoded signals in order to suppress linear and nonlinear phase noise in systems.” (Axel Mainzer Koenig, Optics & Photonics News, October, 2011) From the Back Cover This book covers the recent progress in fiber-optic communication systems with a main focus on the impact of fiber nonlinearities on system performance. There has been significant progress in coherent communication systems in the past few years due to the advances in digital signal processing techniques. This has led to renewed interest in fiber linear and nonlinear impairments as well as techniques to mitigate them in the electrical domain. In this book, the reader will find all the important topics of fiber optic communication systems in one place, with in-depth coverage by the experts of each sub-topic. Pioneers from each of the sub-topics have been invited to contribute. Each chapter will have a section on fundamentals as well as reviews of literature and of recent developments. Readers will benefit from this approach since many of the conference proceedings and journal articles mainly focus on the authors’ research, without spending space on preliminaries.
