Optical Receiver Design

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Fiber Optics Engineering

Part of the book series: Optical Networks ((OPNW))

In this chapter we consider issues related to the design of optical receivers. As signals travel in a fiber, they are attenuated and distorted, and it is the function of the receiver circuit at the other side of the fiber to generate a clean electrical signal from this weak, distorted optical signal.
