Non-linear Long-haul High Capacity Fiber Optics Communication

This book describes in a comprehensive manner the components and systems of non-linear fiber optic communications system. The first section explains the theory of single-mode fibers then the nonlinear issues including cross phase modulation self-phase modulation four wave maxing stimulated briliouin scattering and stimulated raman scattering. The second section describes the Power budget; power penalty and cost benefit analysis for long-haul high capacity optical communication networks. Finally the optical transmission system design is explained and techniques how to mitigate non-linear issues and increasing the system capacity in terms of data rate speed path cover and bandwidth capacity.
