摘　　要：首先回顾了光通信发展过程中,几种利用光实现通信的原始形式和所受限制.进而讨论了现代光通信实用化过程中的几项主要突破,包括激光器的发明提供了可靠的光源,高锟的经典论文中提出采用光纤作为传输介质,以及低损耗光纤的研制成功.正是这几项关键理论或技术的突破为光通信的实用化奠定了基础,促进了光通信产业的蓬勃发展.This article reviews the several forms and limitations of early optical communication, then discusses the main breakthroughs in the practical process of modern optical communication, which includes： the invention of laser provided reliable light source, K.C.Kao pointed out using fiber as transmission medi um in his classic paper, and the invention of low loss fiber. All these breakthroughs I.aid foundation for opti cal communication, and greatly promoted the development of this industry.
