Features: This book primarily introduces the development of optical fiber communication; the composition and light guiding principles of optical fibers, as well as the loss and dispersion characteristics of optical fibers and cables. It also covers the principles, structures, and characteristics of common passive optical components, the types, structures, and working principles of light sources, the composition and characteristics of optical transmitters, the working principles and performance metrics of photodetectors and optical receiver circuits, the working principles and performance metrics of optical amplifiers, common optical multiplexing technologies, the composition, performance, and system design of analog and digital optical communication systems. Finally, it introduces advanced optical communication technologies such as coherent optical communication, optical soliton communication, and all-optical networks.
This book is a summary of the authors' many years of teaching and research, striving for novel content, appropriate difficulty, and clear explanations. It avoids lengthy theoretical derivations and emphasizes the balance between theory and practicality.
This book serves as a textbook for undergraduate and associate degree students in communication-related fields in higher education institutions. It can also be used as a training manual for researchers, production, and management personnel in optical communication, or as a reference for relevant technical professionals.
