Abstract
Optical fibre communications is now a mature technology, and is becoming the dominant medium for line communications. The advantages of optical fibre are well known, but are repeated here for completeness:-
-
(a)
High bandwidth
-
(b)
Low loss
-
(c)
Low cost, size and weight
-
(d)
Immune to eavesdropping and external pickup
