In the era of digital transformation, fiber optic communication has become the "superhighway" of global data transmission. As a professional provider in the field of optical communication, Shenzhen ChuangYou Optical Communication Technology Co., Ltd. takes you on an in-depth exploration of this revolutionary technology.

I. Core Principles of Fiber Optic Communication

1. Total Internal Reflection
   Optical fibers are made of ultra-pure silica glass, consisting of:

   • Core (8–62.5 μm diameter, high refractive index)

   • Cladding (125 μm diameter, low refractive index)

   • Coating (protective layer)

   When light signals enter the core at a specific angle (greater than the critical angle), they undergo total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface, enabling nearly lossless long-distance transmission.

2. Signal Modulation Techniques
   Modern fiber optic communication employs:

   • Direct Modulation: Adjusting laser diode current

   • External Modulation: Using Mach-Zehnder Modulators (MZM)
     Common modulation formats include NRZ, PAM4, with single-wavelength rates reaching up to 800Gbps.

II. Fiber Types & Applications

1. Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)

   • Features: 8–10 μm core, supports single-mode transmission

   • Advantages: Transmission distances exceeding 100 km

   • Applications: Long-haul networks, 5G fronthaul/midhaul

2. Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)

   • Performance Comparison:

     • OM3 (supports 10G @ 300m)

     • OM4 (supports 40G @ 150m)

     • OM5 (supports 100G @ 150m)

   • Advantages: Lower transceiver costs

   • Applications: Data center interconnects

III. Components of a Fiber Optic System

A complete fiber optic communication system includes:

1. Transmitter: Laser source, modulator

2. Transmission Medium: Optical fiber cable

3. Amplification/Compensation: EDFA, dispersion compensation modules

4. Receiver: Photodetector (PIN/APD)

IV. Why Choose Fiber Optic Communication?

1. Performance Advantages

   • Bandwidth Potential: Single fiber capacity up to 100Tbps

   • Low Loss: 0.2 dB/km (~1/100 of copper cables)

   • EMI Immunity: Unaffected by electromagnetic interference

2. Economic Benefits

   • Lifespan: Designed for >25 years of service

   • Maintenance Costs: Just 30% of copper-based systems
