In recent years, progress in the generation of squeezed states of
light, mainly characterized by a reduced noise property, has
stimulated important work in relation to their potential use to
improve the sensitivity of optical communication systems. These
notes are devoted to the detection and information processing of
optical signals at very low levels of power. A survey of recent
developments from the quantum and classical points of view is
presented. Ultimate limits of performance under the criteria of
detection and information are established. Some of the results are
detailed and may be utilized for the design of practical systems of
communication using present technology. The book addresses
physicists and engineers interested in present and future
developments in optical communications.
