Review and Prospect of Optical Communication Technology Development in China

People had given optical communication technology ample attention since it came out, because it has a series of incomparable advantages over other transmission technologies. It has become the most important transmission technology in telecommunication networks right now. The development of optical communication technology in China has been early, its progress very rapid, and it is continuously progressing in recent years. As a participant in developing optical communication technology in China, I have discerned and experienced all the development processes of optical communication in our country. In this paper, the main development processes of optical communication in China have been reviewed including optical fiber / cable, photo-electronic component technology and optical transmission equipment / system etc. The current situation of technologies is introduced. Finally, future prospect of optical communication is indicated.
