Features: Fiber optic communication networks have become the main information transmission systems, with a large number of passive and active components completing complex optical network transmission functions. This book introduces the basic principles of fiber optic communication. It introduces the design principles of digital and analog fiber optic transmission networks. It introduces the working principles of wavelength division multiplexing and the required devices. It introduces 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 operating characteristics of components and networks.
