Analysis on current opto-electronic transmission research and its materials with new perspectives

Abstract

Opto-electric transmission technology serves as a basis for todays fast developing telecommunication, digital transmission and information processing. As the global community becomes more digitalized, there is a growing expectation for more convenient communication, information security, and ultra-fast data processing. This paper overviews recent works of opto-electric transmission including theoretical analysis, material construction, structural improvement of transmission apparatus and encryption schematics. In addition, a comparison of the wire and wireless transmission approach and analysis on the relationship between transmission performance indicators and influencing factors are presented. Progress and limitations of current opto-electric technology are discussed in the context of underlying principles and mechanisms. Prospect vision on trends of opto-electronic research in the near future is presented. In the future, opto-electric transmission is expected to possess higher speed, efficiency and security. This review paper aims to provide a picture of current research teams investigation focus and the present status of opto-electric transmission.
