Features: This book comprehensively introduces the basic components of optical communication systems; the structure and types of optical fibers and cables, the transmission principles and characteristics of optical fibers, and the measurement of optical fiber characteristics. It also covers the types, principles, and properties of light sources, optical detectors, and optical passive devices; the composition and characteristics of optical terminals; digital optical communication systems (PDH and SDH); analog optical communication systems, including subcarrier multiplexed optical communication systems. Additionally, it introduces several new technologies in optical communication, such as optical amplifiers, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, optical switching technology, optical soliton communication, coherent optical communication technology, and optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) technology. Finally, it discusses optical communication networks, including single-wavelength SDH transmission networks, multi-wavelength WDM all-optical networks, and optical access networks. The book strives for theoretical systematicity, technical novelty, and practicality in its content.
