A consideration of factors affecting future coherent lightwave communication systems

The performance limitations of coherent lightwave communication technologies are examined. Their practical device requirements, with emphasis on optical heterodyne/homodyne detection and optical frequency-division multiplexing (optical FDM) are also discussed. >
