Preface
ThegrowthofInternettrafficinrecentyearssurpassedthepredictionofonedecade
ago.Datastreaminindividualcountriesalreadyreachedterabit/slevel.Tocopewith
the petabit class demands of traffic in coming years the communication engineers
arerequiredtogobeyondtheincrementalimprovementoftoday’stechnology.
A most promising breakthrough would be the introduction of modulation for-
matsenablinghigherspectralefficiencythanthatofbinaryon–offkeyingscheme,
virtually the global standard of fiber-optic communication systems. In wireless
communicationsystems,techniquesofhighspectraldensitymodulationhavebeen
welldeveloped,buttherequiredtechniquesinopticalfrequencydomainaremuch
morecomplicatedbecauseoftheheavierfluctuationlevels.Thereforethepasttrials
of coherent optical modulation/detection schemes were not successful. However,
the addition of high-speed digital signal processing technology is the fundamen-
tal difference between now and two decades ago, when trials of optical coherent
communication systems were investigated very seriously. This approach of digital
coherent technology has attracted keen interest among communication specialists,
asindicatedbytherapidincreaseinthepioneeringpresentationsatthepost-deadline
sessionsofmajorinternationalconferences.Forexample,32terabit/stransmission

In order to discuss about the merits and the challenges of various modula-
tion/detectionschemesenablinghighspectraldensitytransmission,aninternational
workshopwasorganizedunderthesponsorshipofNICT.“InternationalWorkshop
on High Density Optical Communication” was held in Tokyo Japan, June 25–26,
2008. Pioneering researchers from all over the world attended the workshop and
discussedawiderangeoftopicsfromdevice,modulationformat,sub-system,and
transmission systems. The presentations and discussions were very successful and
wedecidedtopublishabook,inwhichindividualinvitedspeakerscontributetothe
