Synopsis

Foundations of Fibre Optic Communication is your complete starting point for understanding the technology that carries the world's data.
Whether you're a student stepping into telecommunications, an engineer refreshing your fundamentals, or a technically minded professional curious about how the internet physically works, this book takes you from the very beginning — Claude Chappe's 1790 optical telegraph — all the way to 2025's petabit transmission records and hollow-core fibre breakthroughs.
No prior knowledge of photonics is assumed. The book builds carefully from electromagnetic principles and Snell's law through to signal attenuation, chromatic dispersion, and polarisation mode dispersion, always connecting theory to real-world engineering practice. By the final chapter, you won't just understand how optical fibre works — you'll understand why it works, and where it's heading next.
Inside this book you'll find:

  • A richly detailed history of optical communication spanning 235 years
  • Clear explanations of fibre structure, light propagation, and waveguide physics
  • Practical coverage of attenuation and dispersion — the two impairments every system designer must master
  • A forward-looking survey of hollow-core fibre, coherent optics, space-division multiplexing, and 6G integration
This is Volume 1 of the Fibre Optics Communication series — the foundation everything else is built on.
If you work with networks, design communication systems, or simply want to understand the glass thread that connects the modern world, this book belongs on your shelf.
