摘要
Fiber-optic media are rapidly penetrating the telecommunications network. They are used as undersea and terrestrial trunk lines, central-office loops, optical data links, and will eventually be included within the distribution plant which connects directly into individual premises. The rapid implementation of lightwave systems is occurring because the high bandwidths and low losses of optical fibers make it possible to provide broadband communication services between widely spaced repeaters and also allow users to upgrade currently installed systems to meet future needs. The author describes current applications and shows how future trends will depend on the continuing evolution of lightwave components and optical fiber designs.
