Key features:
Complete all-in-one reference on the subject for engineers and designers of optical fiber transmission systems
Discusses the physical principles behind several noise contributions encountered in the optical communications systems design, including contributions from the light source, the fiber and the receiver
Covers the theory of the ISI for the binary signal, as well as noise statistics
Discusses the theory and the mathematical models of the numerous noise components (such as optical noise, photodetection noise and reflection noise)
Introduces the frequency description of the ISI and provides new calculation methods based on the characteristic functions
Provides useful tools and examples for optimum design of optical fiber transmission networks and systems

This book will serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers, R&D engineers, developers and designers working on optical transmission systems and optical communications. Advanced students in optical communications and related fields will also find this book useful.
