Abstract: We analyze thematic trends and challenging issues in fiber 
optics research based on the metadata of 4970 research papers indexed in 
Science Citation Index (SCI) database between 1974 and 2007. We 
specifically address 1) all-time prominent challenges in fiber optics, 2) 
a trend of progression in fiber optics 3) the structure and dynamics of 
the fiber optics community. We utilize CiteSpace, a progressive domain 
visualization tool, to identify and visualize the movement of research 
fronts and intellectual bases, persistent clusters of papers, and the 
evolution of co-authorship networks as well as citation networks. The 
result contributed an in-depth analysis of a major forum of fiber optics 
and a systematic and streamlined method to keep abreast of the history and 
the state of the research of fiber optics.
