European Fiber Optics. USAF Laboratory Experts' Visit,

Abstract

A team of USAF laboratory experts conducted an assessment of European expertise in fiber optics research, development, and products. Organizations in England, France, Germany and the Netherlands were visited. The team's conclusion is that, while the US holds the advantage in many areas (especially in the development of new components), Europe leads in system implementation and has several unique components and processes of value to the US fiber optics effort. A brief review of each visit is included. (Author)
