Features: With the rapid development of optical fiber communication, the theoretical foundation of optical fiber transmission—optical waveguide theory—has also become increasingly mature and systematic. This book changes the approach to single-mode and multi-mode fibers, completely taking the structural evolution of optical waveguides as the main thread. It emphasizes the logical coherence of the theory itself and systematically studies the different concepts, characteristics, and interactions of various structural optical waveguides. It particularly strengthens the mode theory, transmission characteristics, birefringence phenomena, and mode coupling of optical waveguides. The book is clear in its logic, complete in its knowledge structure, and focuses on explaining the unique analytical methods for different types of waveguides, closely integrating the new developments in optical fiber communication. This book can serve as a teaching text for graduate students in disciplines such as Communication and Information Systems, Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Technology, Optoelectronics, Physical Electronics, and Optical Information Science and Technology. It is also suitable for engineering technicians engaged in optical fiber communication as a reference.
