The drive for higher performance in optical fiber systems has renewed interest in coherent
detection. We review detection methods, including noncoherent, differentially coherent, and …

Fiber nonlinearity is one of the major limitations to the achievable capacity in long distance
fiber optic transmission systems. Nonlinear impairments are determined by the signal …

We describe a method to estimate the capacity limit of fiber-optic communication systems
(or¿ fiber channels¿) based on information theory. This paper is divided into two parts. Part 1 …

This book provides a comprehensive account of fiber-optic communication systems. The 3rd
edition of this book is used worldwide as a textbook in many universities. This 4th edition …

We review the recent progress of information theory in optical communications, and describe
the current experimental results and associated advances in various individual technologies …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a taxonomy of optical modulation formats along
with experimental techniques for realizing them. High-speed optical transmission systems …

Advanced optical modulation formats have become a key ingredient to the design of modern
wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optically routed networks. In this paper, we review …

Fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized our telecommunication
infrastructures–currently, almost all telephone land-line, cellular, and internet …

Broader bandwidths, denser channel spacing, and higher signal intensities all makes
nonlinear effects more critical to the performance of telecommunications systems. This …

This paper reviews the application of forward error correction (FEC) techniques to long-haul
fiber-optic communication systems. A brief tutorial on error-correcting codes and a …
