This book presents a descriptive account on various latest advances in the field of optical communication systems. These systems are extremely essential for all types of networks and telecommunications. They comprise of a transmitter which encodes the message into an optical signal, a channel which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver which reproduces the message from the received optical signal. This book provides updated results on communication systems, with elucidations on their relevance, provided by veteran researchers in this field. It encompasses fundamental concepts of optical and wireless optical communication systems, optical multiplexing and demultiplexing for optical communication systems, optical amplifiers and networks, and network traffic engineering. Lately, wavelength conversion and other advanced signal processing functions have also been studied in detail for optical communications systems. The book emphasizes on wavelength conversion, demultiplexing in the time domain, switching and other optimized functions for optical communications systems. It is primarily aimed at assisting in advancement and research for a wide range of readers including design engineer teams in manufacturing industry, academia and telecommunications service operators/providers.

The new edition of this popular textbook keeps its structure, introducing the advanced topics of: (i) wireless communications, (ii) free-space optical (FSO) communications, (iii) indoor optical wireless (IR) communications, and (iv) fiber-optics communications, but thoroughly updates the content for new technologies and practical applications. The author presents fundamental concepts, such as propagation principles, modulation formats, channel coding, diversity principles, MIMO signal processing, multicarrier modulation, equalization, adaptive modulation and coding, detection principles, and software defined transmission, first describing them and then following up with a detailed look at each particular system. The book is self-contained and structured to provide straightforward guidance to readers looking to capture fundamentals and gain theoretical and practical knowledge about wireless communications, free-space optical communications, and fiber-optics communications, all which can be readily applied in studies, research, and practical applications. The textbook is intended for an upper undergraduate or graduate level courses in fiber-optics communication, wireless communication, and free-space optical communication problems, an appendix with all background material needed, and homework problems. In the second edition, in addition to the existing chapters being updated and problems being inserted, one new chapter has been added, related to the physical-layer security thus covering both security and reliability issues. New material on 5G and 6G technologies has been added in corresponding chapters.

This book focuses on recent research and developments on optical communications. The chapters present different aspects of optical communication systems, comprising high capacity transmission over long distances, coherent and intensity modulated technologies, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, ultrafast switching techniques, and photonic integrated devices. Digital signal processing and error correction techniques are also addressed. The content is of interest to graduate students and researchers in optical communications.

This book presents new frontiers in data communication. To transcend the physical limitations of current optical communication technologies, totally new multiplexing schemes beyond TDM/WDM, novel transmission optical fibers handling well above Pbit/s capacity, and next-generation optical submarine cable systems will need to be developed. The book offers researchers working at the forefront, as well as advanced Ph.D. students in the area of optical fiber communications systems and related fields, an essential guide to state-of-the-art optical transmission technologies. It explores promising new technologies for the exabit era; namely, the three “M technologies”: multi-level modulation, multi-core fiber, and multi-mode control.
