Optical Communications from a Fourier Perspective: Fourier Theory and Optical Fiber Devices and Systems covers Fourier theory and signal analysis over photonic components, including time lenses in optical communication. Sections cover wave propagation in optical waveguides based on Maxwell equations and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Optical Fourier transform in the form of time lens is covered, for example in modulation format conversion and spectrum magnification, and couplers and their use for optical discrete Fourier transformation are also discussed. Other important subjects are discussed such as shot noise, thermal noise and also the basics of four wave mixing in relation to time lenses. Detailed derivations and a deeper background for the chapters are provided in appendices where appropriate. Some of the theory is more generally applicable beyond optical communication and is of relevance also for communications engineering. The Fourier theory dimension of the book presents the relationship between Fourier series and Fourier integrals and also the related Laplace transform.

Picture Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications in Decision Making Problems provides methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of picture fuzzy operators and their applications in scientific research and real-world engineering problems. In this book, picture fuzzy sets are investigated, and different types of operators are defined to solve a number of important decision-making and optimization problems. The hybrid operator on picture fuzzy set based on the combination of picture fuzzy weighted averaging operators and picture fuzzy weighted geometric operators is developed and named Hybrid Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-PFWAG) operator. In addition, another operator is developed for interval-valued picture fuzzy environment, which is named Hybrid Interval-Valued Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-IVPFWAG) operator. These two operators are then demonstrated as solutions to Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problems. The picture fuzzy soft weighted aggregation operators (averaging and geometric) are defined, and these are applied to develop a multi-criteria group decision making system.
