10 year 10 On 6 October, the Scientific Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy announced that it would award the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics to Gao Kun, a British Chinese scientist, and Willard Boyle and George Smith, American scientists. At the press conference announcing the prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science said that Gao Kun won half of this year's physics prize, with 5 million Swedish kronor (about 700,000 US dollars), in recognition of his breakthrough achievement in "the transmission of light in optical fiber for optical communication".

(Kao C.K. & Hawkham, Georgia, dielectric fiber surface waveguide with optical frequency. ROOC。 IEEE1July 966, p.11-165438. Through theoretical analysis, he figured out how to transmit light in optical fiber for a long distance as long as the purity was enough. This achievement eventually led to the emergence of optical fiber communication system, paving the way for the development of the Internet today.
abstract
Dielectric fiber with higher refractive index than its surrounding area is a form of dielectric waveguide, which represents a possible medium for guided transmission of energy at optical frequency. The special type of dielectric fiber waveguide in question is circular cross-section. The choice of propagation mode of optical fiber waveguide for communication purposes depends on the consideration of loss characteristics and information capacity. Dielectric loss, bending loss and radiation loss are discussed, and the relationship between mode stability, dispersion, power processing and information capacity is investigated. Physical reality is also discussed. Including optical and microwave wavelength experiments.
