520 $aThis book is an extensive update of the widely acclaimed book on optical communications. It provides a well-balanced combination of optoelectronics and communication theory and will complement existing, more introductory books in the field. The book deals with the fundamental operation of the main system components, together with their limitations in the context of different system requirements. This is a valuable book for students, researchers and engineers entering the field of optical communications.
