Optical Communications (Wiley Series in Telecommunications and Signal Processing)

This book is devoted to an analytical study of optical communications. Its primary purpose is to compliment earlier books dealing with optical technology and device description by emphasizing the theoretical aspects of system design. Mathematical models of optical components are developed and used to determine design equations, limitations to system performance, and technological trade-offs involved in a optical communication system. The material is presented in a textbook format, with homework problems included to aid chapter discussions.
