Abstract
This chapter introduces the reader into optical signal representations and the major physical layer effects causing system degradations in the WDM transport layer. Suitable modeling approaches are presented, and typical simulation results are demonstrated. Finally, the chapter focuses on performance degrading effects due to fiber propagation, optical amplification, and signal generation.
