Features: Fiber optic communication networks have become the main information transmission systems, with a large number of passive and active devices completing complex network transmission functions in the optical domain. This book introduces the basic principles of fiber optic communication. It explains the design principles of digital and analog fiber optic transmission networks. It covers the working principles of wavelength division multiplexing and the required devices. It describes the structure and performance characteristics of optical networks that connect users. It discusses advanced optical communication technologies, such as soliton transmission, optical CDMA, and ultra-fast optical time-division multiplexing. There is a dedicated chapter on measurement standards, basic test instruments, and techniques for verifying the performance of components and network operation.
