Title
Optical fiber and information theory
Abstract
We apply information theory to optical fibers in the context of transmitting information in optical networks. We define a ¿fiber channel¿ suitable for such networks and present fiber capacity estimates for transmission over 500 km. We compare our capacity estimates to recent record capacity experiments.
