Introduction to Optical Communication Systems

Chapter 1 Introduction to OpticalCommunication SystemsThe purpose of this chapter is to give an overview and a somewhat historical perspective on the field ofoptical communications. The first section of the chapter describes why there are fundamental reasons thatoptics is attractive for use in communications. Indeed, the worldwide telephone network, the world s largestcommunications system , is fiber optic-based. Further, optics is finding progressively more communicationsapplications by the day, not to speak of the numerous sensing applications that are presently being imple-mented. In some areas, optics is being implemented somewhat more slowly than originally predicted. Thisis in great part due to cost.
