Wave Equations: Optical Fiber Communication (Ofc)

This document derives the standard wave equations for optical fiber communication (OFC) using Maxwell's equations. It starts with Maxwell's equations and takes the curl and substitutions to arrive at the wave equation for the electric field E and magnetic field H. The wave equations show that E and H propagate as waves with velocity V, which depends on the permittivity ε and permeability μ of the medium. These standard wave equations are fundamental to understanding signal propagation in optical fibers.
