Features: With the rapid development of optical fiber communication, the theoretical foundation of optical fiber transmission—optical waveguide theory—has also become increasingly mature and systematic. This book alters the conventional approach to single-mode and multimode fibers, completely focusing on the structural evolution of optical waveguides as its main thread. It emphasizes the logical coherence of the theory itself and systematically investigates the different concepts, characteristics, and interrelationships of various structural optical waveguides. It particularly strengthens the mode theory, transmission characteristics, birefringence phenomena, and mode coupling of optical waveguides. The book is well-structured with a clear line of reasoning and a complete knowledge framework, highlighting the unique analytical methods for different types of waveguides while closely integrating the latest developments in optical fiber communication. This book can serve as a teaching text for graduate students in disciplines such as Communication and Information Systems, Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Technology, Optoelectronics, Physical Electronics, and Optical Information Science and Technology. It is also a valuable reference for engineering technicians engaged in optical fiber communication.
