This lecture covers the performance analysis of optical fiber systems, starting with the mathematical modeling of system components and the estimation of received signals' shape. Topics include power transmission, response time, bandwidth, and maximum fiber length limitations due to attenuation, dispersion, noise, and nonlinear distortions. The lecture also discusses system performance dependencies on bit rate, receiver sensitivity, power budgeting, and design guidelines for maximizing system reach.
