Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the evolution of optical networks and the changes that have resulted in communications to date and future changes will make in the future. First, place a brief reference to basic concepts of computer networks (definition, classification, components, uses of networks, advantages and disadvantages, protocols and network architectures). Then a broad insight into the basic concepts of optical fiber (what is fiber, structure and types of optical cables, applications and problems, optical fiber advantages). Finally, we describe the evolution that had optical networks in previous years, their development today and their future development, as it appears in the following decades.
