Features: "Theory and Technology of Optical Waveguides" This book systematically introduces the rapidly developing theory of optical waveguide transmission and the working principles of optical communication devices.
The first chapter provides a general introduction to optical communication and the corresponding devices. The second chapter covers the theoretical foundation of electromagnetic fields, introducing the main conclusions of classical electromagnetic theory. The third chapter discusses the geometric optics analysis method, explaining the propagation of light in optical waveguides. The fourth chapter presents the mode theory of planar waveguides and strip waveguides. The fifth chapter introduces the mode theory of optical fibers. The sixth chapter covers the dispersion characteristics of optical fibers and dispersion compensation techniques. The seventh chapter discusses the nonlinear transmission theory of optical fibers, explaining important nonlinear effects in optical fibers. The eighth chapter introduces the structure, working principles, and characteristics of passive optical devices commonly used in optical communication systems. The ninth chapter covers the structure, working principles, and characteristics of active optical devices. The author has long been teaching "Fiber Communication" and "Fiber Transmission Theory" courses to undergraduate and graduate students, so this book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields. For engineering technicians engaged in fiber communication-related work, this book can also provide valuable reference.
