I. Introduction

The relentless pursuit of higher data rates and the need for efficient communication systems has led to a paradigm shift in the field of data transmission. Optical communication systems, with their capacity to carry vast amounts of data over considerable distances, are the harbingers of a new epoch in telecommunications [1]. This paper presents a detailed examination of optical communication systems tailored for ultra-high-speed data transmission, addressing the technological leaps that have been made to achieve this end. The genesis of optical communication systems can be traced back to the realization that the electromagnetic spectrum offered an untapped reservoir of bandwidth, particularly in the optical regime [2]. With the advent of lasers and optical fibres, it became possible to transmit information at the speed of light, a concept that has revolutionized the way data is conveyed. The optical spectrum, particularly the low-loss transmission windows in silica-based fibres, provides a bandwidth-rich medium that is now the backbone of global communication networks [3].
