From the reviews: "This reference discusses the most recent contributions to nonlinear impairment in fiber optics communications. ... should be of interest to professionals and graduate students in the fields of optical sciences, physics and applied mathematics. ... this book connects the important issue of high demands for a large channel capacity with high spectral efficiency and flexible network design. ... this highly recommendable book analyzes all-optical regenerator schemes for phase encoded signals in order to suppress linear and nonlinear phase noise in systems."
