The intrinsic low-dispersion and low-attenuation properties of single-mode fibers between
1.3 and 1.6 μm make them attractive for use in high-capacity, long-haul digital systems. In …

Single-mode optical fiber transmission technology in the 1.0-1.8-μ m wavelength region is
reviewed. Owing to low fiber loss in the spectral region and to wide-band single-mode fiber …

Multimode-fiber systems are presently being installed to meet some of the burgeoning
demands for digital transmission in the telecommunications industry. These first-generation …

The past ten years have seen a factor-of-20 growth in the maximum bit rate attainable in
laboratory transmission experiments. Even at the present rate of 8 Gb/s we make use of less …

An attainable repeater spacing at 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm wavelengths using a step-index
monomode fibre cable is given, after detailed consideration of total loss as well as total …

The present state of the art and expected development in discrete components for fiber-optic
transmission systems are reviewed. Predicted performance of fiber systems in the 0.85, 1.06 …

This paper describes an attainable repeater spacing for a high bit-rate single-mode fiber-
optic transmission in the 1.55 μm wavelength region where laser mode partition noise …

Error-rate performances of a single-mode fibre transmission system are evaluated at
wavelengths of 1.18 and 1.31 μm. It is proven that longitudinal single-mode oscillation of the …

Recent progress in lightwave systems research is reviewed with special emphasis on high-
bit-rate transmission over long distances. The limits imposed by the single-mode fiber as …
