Modeling and performance analysis are crucial components in the understanding and design of high-speed optical communication systems. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss methods and techniques that can be used in modeling and performance analysis. It provides descriptions of various techniques that can be used to efficiently model and evaluate OTDM-WDM systems. Throughout the chapter, examples are used to demonstrate how the techniques can be applied to model and to evaluate the performance of high-speed optical communication systems.
