2*This
is not covered in 2011.
4*
Direct and indirect bandgap, radiative
and nonradiative recombination – not covered in
2011.
Optical Receivers
Shot
noise and thermal noise are not covered in 2011.
Systems
1* In the last page there is an error
– the power spectral density is single-sided. Therefore, the noise power
is actually P_N =
S_A(f) delta f, instead of S_A(f) 2 delta f.
3* eye
diagram, BER and wavelength division multiplexing – not covered in 2011.
