Introduction to Optical Communication Network

The so-called optical communication, as the name implies, refers to the communication mode that uses light waves to transmit communication signals, which is called light wave communication, or optical communication for short. Since optical communication uses light wave for communication, and light wave is an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 0.76 to 0.4 μ m, it can be used as wired communication or wireless communication. Therefore, the communicator must pay attention to that the optical communication often mentioned nowadays refers to optical cable

Communication, strictly speaking, should be called optical fiber communication.

With the continuous development of communication technology, optical communication has been developed to meet the growing demand of people for broadband services such as integrated communication services and multimedia communication services. It solves the bottleneck of the transmission bandwidth of the transmission system in the communication network.
