This thesis explores the pivotal role of semiconductor devices, including diode lasers and LEDs, in fiber optic communication. These devices, operating through direct modulation of current, serve as efficient and integral light sources. The study emphasizes the superiority of semiconductor lasers, particularly distributed feedback (DFB) lasers, for high-speed, long-distance communication due to their narrow spectral widths. Despite limitations, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) show promise for integration, underscoring the ongoing evolution of optical communication technologies.
