Description:
Complete with new end-of-chapter problems, this extensively updated second edition contains new chapters on optical fiber structures and propagation, optical coherent receivers, digital signal processing (DSP) equalizer algorithms, and high-order spectral DSP receivers. The text provides a comprehensive treatment of the modern aspects of coherent homodyne and self-coherent reception techniques using algorithms incorporated in DSP systems and DSP-based transmitters to overcome several linear and nonlinear transmission impairments and frequency mismatching between the local oscillator and the carrier, as well as clock recovery and cycle slips.
Review Quotes:
"This book is excellent and potentially can be used by many universities. ... I have not seen that any books are better than this book in this topic."
--John Xiupu Zhang, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
"The main strengths of the book are that it is comprehensive, covers the material in depth, and is up-to-date, covering topics which, in many cases, are still being actively investigated by the research community. It provides explicit guidance on the computer simulation of optical communication systems and is very accessible, being well structured and clearly written."
--Robert Killey, University College London
