Features: This book introduces the principles, devices, and technologies of optical fiber communication. Its content includes an overview of optical fiber communication systems, the fundamentals of light propagation, the interaction of light with media, optical fibers and cables, optical transmission devices (LED and LD and their components/modules), optical receiving devices (PIN and APD and their components/modules), optical modulation, coding, multiplexing, and demultiplexing technologies, optical amplification techniques, and optical devices. It covers the design of optical fiber communication systems, the limitations of attenuation and dispersion on system performance, as well as practical examples and usage precautions of optoelectronic devices for optical fiber communication. The book also discusses various technologies, system designs, and system management involved in optical fiber communication systems, the composition of optical receivers, noise analysis, performance metrics, and overall system design. Additionally, it explores new technologies and novel systems in optical fiber communication, such as erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, all-optical communication networks, and nonlinear optical effects. The content reflects the current development level of optical fiber communication technology, with in-depth yet accessible theoretical analysis, clear and concise text, and a rich combination of illustrations and text. It emphasizes practicality and is suitable for readers of all levels. Each chapter includes examples, and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. Partial answers to the exercises are given in the appendix to help readers deepen their understanding. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and associate degree programs in communication and information-related fields, as well as a reference for engineers engaged in the research, planning, design, operation, management, and maintenance of optical fiber communication systems and networks, optoelectronic devices, and the sales and reliability research of optical fiber communication systems.
