Optics, high speed/low latency transmissions, long haul connections, undersea cables & physical limits today and in the future:

• Tutorial: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Optical Networking – But Were Afraid to Ask
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-MfLsnqluM & <Slidedeck>
  (Introduction to optics and all relevant topics: fiber types, wavelengths, O,C&L-band, WDM: CWDM vs DWDM, ROADM, amplification, MUX/DEMUX, optical switches, OTN, open line systems, optical taps & splitters, monitoring, dispersion, attenuation, SNR etc)

• Optical Fiber Capacity Limits - Where Do We Next?
  https://youtu.be/prC-1lZ_wdk?si=Oap9E1vImZ7GQYXk
  (Absolute recommendation! Topics include: How do glass fibers work between continents, what are the limits as a rule and in the laboratory, what new fiber types & trunks are there, what is Raman and doped fiber, why/from when and how do you have to amplify it, why Single mode preferred, 1Pbit/s via fiber is possible? 250Tbit common? and much more. enjoy!)

feel free to leave comments, suggestions, feedback and especially things I've might missed in the comment section below. (theoretically you can also use git as this gist is just another git object markdown file)
