Dr. Akram Abu-Aisheh has published a book, Pre-amp EDFA Noise Analysis for Optimal Optical Receiver Performance (VDM Publishers, Germany). He has also contributed three chapters to Erbium, a book published this week by Nova Publishers.

Dr. Akram Abu-Aisheh

Dr. Abu-Aisheh's work in both books focuses on erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, devices used in fiber optic communication systems at the input of the optical receiver to increase receiver sensitivity by amplifying the photon detectro incomping optical signal. In Pre-amp EDFA Noise Analysis, he describes his work in characterizing pre-amp EDFA noise performance at the pre-amp level through computer simulation, followed by experiments to characterize performance at the optical receiver level.

The cover of Dr. Abu-Aisheh's new text.

His chapters in Erbium are "Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers," "EDFA Noise Characteristics," and "EDFA Performance Analysis."

Dr. Abu-Aisheh is the assistant chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and Director of the Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology Programs at the University of Hartford. His Ph.D. in Optical Communications is from the Florida Institute of Technology.
