As optical communication techniques develop and expand we can expect to see an ever increasing number of books covering the design, physics, engineering, operation and theory of the subject. This particular text concentrates almost exclusively on the theoretical aspects of system design, developing mathematical models of optical components to determine the limitation of performance and deviating into the physical mechanism only far enough to keep the basic systems analysis on the correct track.
