大多数光通信系统使用红外区域的波长 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 1.0 1.5 2.0 Wavelength (?m) Ultraviolet Visible Infrared Optical Spectrum (Partial) Blue Red 光的波动性 * 光的特性 Fiber optic systems must have low loss. For glass low loss occurs at several wavelengths. The major operation regions (windows) are: Wavelength Window 0.8-0.9 ?m First Window ~1.300 ?m Second Window ~1.550 ?m Third Window ~1.600 mm Fourth Window These are all in the infrared. * 2. 损耗低、中继距离长 中继站多：传输线路的成本高、维护不方便、运行不可靠 石英光纤在1.55 mm波长区的损耗可低到0.18 dB/km 例： 同轴电缆通信的中继距离只有几公里 最长的微波通信是50公里左右
