Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

An extremely accessible, timely, and comprehensive overview of optical transmission systems as well as the regulatory, economic, and political issues involved. Aspects of operational requirements and specifications are clearly presented with specific reference to actual inland and submerged intensity-modulated, direct-detection systems. Advances in the measurement, characterisation, modelling, analysis and design of active/passive devices, and circuits at rf and microwave frequencies are used to present a novel approach to the design of optical receivers for Gbit/s systems.
