Survey of Current Technology Related to Fiber Optics.

Abstract

The historical facts that brought today's scientists to use optical communication systems, and the possible advantages or disadvantages of using fiber optic transmission medium were investigated. The requirements and characteristics of the optical links and the problems related to their implementation were studied. Today's applications as well as the future ones are discussed. An economic analysis and an effectiveness analysis was carried out to stablish future trends. (Author)
