Features: This book is a revised and expanded version of the author's previous work, "Optical Fiber Communication" (1st Edition), updated based on the latest advancements in optical fiber communication technology to meet the needs of a broad readership. The book consists of 9 chapters, comprehensively introducing optical fiber communication technology, covering topics such as the fundamentals of light waves, optical fibers and cables, passive and active optical components, optical reception, transmission, and amplification, modulation and coding, multiplexing/demultiplexing techniques. It then elaborates on several types of optical transmission systems, including Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) systems, the typical application of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) in SDH systems, optical TDM systems, optical WDM systems, optical CDMA systems, as well as coherent optical wave systems and fiber soliton communication systems, which have recently gained attention. Subsequently, it introduces several key considerations for designing optical transmission systems. Finally, it highlights the limitations of fiber dispersion on system performance and the methods for dispersion compensation management. To aid readers in deepening their understanding of the content, each chapter includes examples and exercises, with answers to some of the exercises provided at the end of the book.
