Abstract
After a brief discussion of the evolution of optical networks in the last two decades, advanced modulation and coherent detection are pointed out as emerging key technologies for fulfilling the expected bandwidth demands of future optical fiber networks. Subsequently, an overview of current developments and today’s state of research in the fields of advanced modulation and coherent detection is given. Finally, the scope of this book is localized and the chapter’s contents are shortly outlined.
