Influence of the Number of Degrees of Freedom on the Capacity of Incoherent Optical Fiber Communication Systems

The purpose of this dissertation is to find the channel capacity in optical fiber communication systems when incoherent detection is used with single (polarization filtering) and two-polarizations (no polarization filtering). Optical fiber systems employ photodetectors that convert optical intensi...
