Sta- ing from a few Mb\/s single channel systems, a fast and constant technological development has led to the actual 10 Gb\/s per channel dense wavelength - vision multiplexing (DWDM) systems, with dozens of channels on a single fiber. Transmitters and receivers are now ready for 40 Gb\/s, whereas hundreds of channels can be simultaneously amplified by optical amplifiers. Nevertheless, despite such a pace in technological progress, optical c- munications are still in a primitive stage if compared, for instance, to radio communications: the widely spread on-off keying (OOK) modulation format is equivalent to the rough amplitude modulation (AM) format, whereas the DWDM technique is nothing more than the optical version of the frequency - vision multiplexing (FDM) technique. Moreover, adaptive equalization, ch- nel coding or maximum likelihood detection are still considered something exotic in the optical world. This is mainly due to the favourable char- teristics of the fiber optic channel (large bandwidth, low attenuation, channel stability, ...), which so far allowed us to use very simple transmission and detection techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823741665568,"sku":"NEW0387231323","price":218.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61VjqNk0dIL.jpg?v=1781201625","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/optical-communication-theory-and-techniques-0387231323","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
