xvi Acknowledgments
contributed to interesting discussions during the writing of the book.
Martin Burley kept me amused with his music and sense of humor during
the lulls in writing.
The IEEE, IEE, OSA and Elsevier Science are acknowledged for
provision of copyright permission on several figures. I also gratefully
acknowledge D. W. Smith of BT Laboratories for his generous support
and provision of computer facilities for the production of the manuscript.
Finally, I am deeply appreciative of Monika and Hannah, whose un-
questioning patience, support and provision of earthly comforts formed
essential ingredients in the birth of this book.
