Abstract
Optical communication is the science of transmitting information over a distance using light. The engineering difficulties vary greatly because the distances to be traversed differ significantly. For some, the task may be the need to interconnect electronic integrated circuits within a computer. For others, the distance to be covered may be between computers in a building or between the buildings in a city. The differences between these cases are the distances over which information must be carried. These differences dictate the nature of the technologies required to implement the connections.
