Digital Coherent Optical Systems

This book covers the recent progress in fiber-optic communication systems with a main focus on the impact of fiber nonlinearities on the system performance. Over the past few years, there has been significant progress in coherent communication systems mainly because of the advances in digital signal processing techniques. This has led to renewed interest in fiber linear and nonlinear impairments and techniques to mitigate them in 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 subtopics. Pioneers from each of the sub-topics have been invited to contribute. Each chapter will have a section on fundamentals, review of literature survey and the recent developments. The reader will benefit from this approach since many of the conference proceedings and journal articles mainly focus on the authors’ research work without spending space on preliminaries.

This book is a collection of works dealing with the important technologies and mathematical concepts behind today's optical fiber communications and devices. The book compiles worldwide contributions from many prominent universities and research centers, bringing together leading academics and scientists in the field of photonics and optical communications. Researchers and practitioners working in photonics and optical communications will find this book a valuable resource.

This book provides an overview of the world of holography from the aspect of concepts, system architectures, and applications.

This book focuses on recent research and developments on optical communications. The chapters present different aspects of optical communication systems, comprising high capacity transmission over long distances, coherent and intensity modulated technologies, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, ultrafast switching techniques, and photonic integrated devices. Digital signal processing and error correction techniques are also addressed. The content is of interest to graduate students and researchers in optical communications.

This book is a unique reference for understanding the concept of multiplexing. It provides comprehensive coverage of the practical applications of multiplexing to help the reader better understand its use in these systems. It is a great resource, especially for engineers working on digital signal processing, radio frequency (RF), antenna design, beamforming, and network designs.
