TY - CHAP AU - Edward M.D. Fisher ED - Pedro Pinho Y1 - 2017-08-09 PY - 2017 T1 - Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes in CMOS Technologies for Optical Communications N2 - The optical world is continuously and rapidly evolving, and new challenges arise every day. As a result of these rapid changes, the need for up-to-date texts that address this growing field from an interdisciplinary perspective persists. This book presents an overview of new optical communication technologies and a bird's-eye view of some of the more promising technologies among them. The book covers the theoretical but also the practical aspects of technology implementation in a way that is suitable for undergraduate- and graduate-level students, as well as researchers and professional engineers.
