This lecture covers topics such as amplitude modulation, phase modulation, photodetectors, and noise figures in fiber amplifiers. It delves into the concepts of shot noise, thermal noise, and electronic noise in detectors. The discussion also includes the principles of homodyne and heterodyne detection, as well as the origin and impact of amplified spontaneous emission noise in fiber amplifiers.
