ADTEK Science | Optical Communication Course Summary

02 Fundamentals of Optical Transmission and Optical Networks

I: The basic characteristics of laser.

1. high brightness 2. small divergence angle 3. monochromaticity 4. high coherence

Two: Explanation of terminology    

Wave / time / space / code / frequency division multiplexing

Wave division: the same space in time to run different wavelengths of light

Frequency division: the same wave division

Space division: the same time in a different space to run

Code division: different “codes” running in the same time space

Time division: different times in the same space to run different signals

Three: optical communication network advantages (the following chart)
