Abstract

The concept of Matrix Optics is explained in detail and some key matrices which are used in Optics are given, including ABCD matrices and Jones matrices. Some examples of matrices to model optical components are provided. The basic principles of Optical Communication Systems are explicated, along with their principal components. The key performance metrics are mentioned, each with a brief explanation: Bandwidth, signal-to-noise ratio, and bit error rate. The applications of Matrix Optics in Optical Communication Systems are investigated, as well as some advanced techniques and technologies. In this regard, bends causing signal propagation in optical fibers, optical amplifiers, and resonators are explained; advanced techniques such as adaptive optics in modulating the atmospheric turbulence, space division multiplexing in describing the scrambling of the spatial modes, and Non-linear Optical Effects in quantum systems are mentioned.
