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." -- Prof. Moshe Nazarathy, EE Dept., Technion, Israel Institute of Technology

OFDM for Optical Communications
Chapter One
Introduction
In the virtually infinite broad electromagnetic spectrum, there are only two windows that have been largely used for modern-day broadband communications. The first window spans from the long-wave radio to millimeter wave, or from 100 kHz to 300 GHz in frequency, whereas the second window lies in the infrared lightwave region, or from 30 THz to 300 THz in frequency. The first window provides the applications that we use in our daily lives, including broadcast radio and TV, wireless local area networks (LANs), and mobile phones. These applications offer the first meter or first mile access of the information networks to the end user with broadband connectivity or the mobility in the case of the wireless systems. Nevertheless, most of the data rates are capped below gigabit per second (Gb/s) primarily due to the lack of the available spectrum in the RF microwave range. In contrast, due to the enormous bandwidth over several terahertz (THz) in the second window, the lightwave systems can provide a staggering capacity of 100 Tb/s and beyond. In fact, the optical communication systems, or fiber-optic systems in particular, have become indispensable as the backbone of the modern-day information infrastructure. There has been a worldwide campaign in the past decade to push the fiber ever closer to the home. Despite the fact that the Internet "bubble" fizzled out in the early 2000s, Internet traffic has been increasing at an astounding rate of 75% per year. The new emerging video-centric applications such as IPTV will continue to put pressure on the underlying information infrastructure.
