While the world is still marveling at optical-fiber communication, the second generation of
optical-fiber technology is upon us. Single-mode optical-fiber systems are being …

Topics in Lightwave Transmission Systems is a second volume of a treatise on optical fiber
communications that is devoted to the science, engineering, and application of information …

This paper presents an introduction to the principles of lightwave system engineering. The
treatment is historical rather than categorical-lightwave systems are described in terms of …

Novel component technology allows enhanced network architectures, and, conversely,
novel architectures require enhanced component functionality. This duality has driven much …

Rapid progress in the research and development of fiber cable and device technologies has
resulted in the large-scale deployment of lightwave communication systems. Understanding …

PTICAL-FIBER transmission systems will find application in the communications industry.
The question is when will this occur, not whether it will occur. Whereas the idea of using light …

The use of coherent techniques in lightwave communications can provide improved
sensitivities over those that have been obtained using direct detection receivers [l]. For this …

Long-haul optical fiber transmission system experiments have been carried out over
unrepeatered spans up to 250 km. In this paper the design options for such systems will be …

Optical communications has been revolutionizing the communications field since the 1970s
due to its potential for enormous information capacity, low loss, immunity to electro-magnetic …
