Coherent Optical Systems

Coherent optical systems are advanced technology used in fiber-optic communications to transmit data efficiently. They work by encoding information onto the phase and amplitude of light waves, rather than just on the light's intensity. This allows for higher data rates and longer transmission distances with improved signal quality. Using techniques like sophisticated modulation and signal processing, coherent systems can detect subtle changes in the light wave, making them ideal for high-speed internet, cable TV, and telecommunication networks. Essentially, they enable faster, more reliable communication by precisely controlling and interpreting light signals.
