Optimisation of preamplified optical receivers for very high bit rates

Abstract

This thesis is concerned with design, optimisation and realisation of optical preamplified receivers appropriate for high capacity optical telecommunication systems. A range of post-detection filters appropriate for multigigabit return-to-zero (RZ) signalling inherent in high speed optical communication systems were investigated. (...)
