Abstract
Signals transmitted through single-mode optical fibers and homodyne detected are not simply attenuated replicas of the input signals. Several effects in optical fibers contribute noise and alter the signals, ordinarily very subtly. Even so, these effects may degrade the performance of planned fiber communications and sensor systems or contribute to making new technologies feasible.
