Title :
Coherent Detection - Why is it back?
Author_Institution :
Univ. Coll. London, London
Abstract :
There is a renewed interest in coherent detection for robust high speed optical communication. We will examine the developments which have led to the current resurgence of research, review the latest research into digital coherent receivers and finally discuss the prospects for its commercial deployment.
