First sentence: Quantitatively, the noise of a linear amplifier can be described as the noise power added by the amplifier to the signal power in the process of signal amplification.
Description: "The first three chapters provide the background necessary to understand the basic concepts. Then shot noise and thermal noise are discussed, followed by linear noisy multiparts, the quantum theory of waveguides and resonators, an analysis of phase-insensitive systems, detection, photon probability distributions, solitons, phase sensitive amplification, squeezing, the quantum theory of solitons and squeezing, and quantum non-demolition measurements. Appendices give additional information." "The book is intended for graduate students and scientists in physics and engineering. Numerous problems and selected solutions will help readers to deepen their knowledge."--Jacket.
