We live in a connected society where digital information is continuously exchanged across the globe. The vast majority of this information is carried by optical fibres for at least part of their journey. The development of long-haul fibre-optic communications is a fascinating story of invention in which various technological advances (the development of single-mode fibre, efficient laser transmitters and modulators, optical amplifiers, wavelength-division multiplexing schemes, coherent signal detection and digital signal processing have, over time yielded steady improvements in the information-carrying capacity of commercial systems.

我们生活在一个互联的社会中，数字信息在全球范围内不断交换。这些信息中的绝大多数至少有一部分是由光纤传输的。长途光纤通信的发展是一个引人入胜的发明故事，其中各种技术的进步（单模光纤的发展，高效的激光发射机和调制器，光放大器，波分复用方案，相干信号检测和数字信号处理）随着时间的推移，商业系统的信息承载能力不断提高。
