Description
- The first book on optical OFDM by the leading pioneers in the field
- The only book to cover error correction codes
for optical OFDM
- Gives applications of OFDM to free-space communications, optical access networks, and metro and log haul transports
show optical OFDM can be implemented
- Contains introductions to signal processing for optical engineers and optical communication
fundamentals for wireless engineers
This book gives a coherent and comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals
of OFDM signal processing, with a distinctive focus on its broad range of applications. It evaluates the architecture, design and performance
of a number of OFDM variations, discusses coded OFDM, and gives a detailed study of error correction codes for access networks, 100 Gb/s
Ethernet and future optical networks.
The emerging applications of optical OFDM, including single-mode fiber transmission,
multimode fiber transmission, free space optical systems, and optical access networks are examined, with particular attention paid to
passive optical networks, radio-over-fiber, WiMAX and UWB communications.
Written by two of the leading contributors
to the field, this book will be a unique reference for optical communications engineers and scientists. Students, technical managers
and telecom executives seeking to understand this new technology for future-generation optical networks will find the book invaluable.
William Shieh is an associate professor and reader in the electrical and electronic engineering department,
The University of Melbourne, Australia. He received his M.S. degree in electrical engineering and Ph.D. degree in physics both from University
of Southern California.
Ivan Djordjevic is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where he directs the Optical Communications Systems Laboratory (OCSL). His current research interests
include optical networks, error control coding, constrained coding, coded modulation, turbo equalization, OFDM applications, and quantum
error correction.
"This wonderful book is the first one to address the rapidly emerging optical OFDM field. Written by
two leading researchers in the field, the book is structured to comprehensively cover any optical OFDM aspect one could possibly
think of, from the most fundamental to the most specialized. The book adopts a coherent line of presentation, while striking
a thoughtful balance between the various topics, gradually developing the optical-physics and communication-theoretic concepts required
for deep comprehension of the topic, eventually treating the multiple optical OFDM methods, variations and applications. In my view this
book will remain relevant for many years to come, and will be increasingly accessed by graduate students, accomplished researchers as
well as telecommunication engineers and managers keen to attain a perspective on the emerging role of OFDM in the evolution of photonic
networks." --
