Abstract
Models and analysis methods suitable for computer-aided design of digital lightwave systems are reviewed. An overview of a digital lightwave system is described along with properties of system components. Models for system degradations due to the source waveform, fiber dispersion, and noise are developed. Various analytical methods used to compute error rate, eye margin, and power penalty are described and compared.
