Abstract:The application of optical fibres to existing communication systems has been studied on three different levels: an element level, a system level and an experimental level. The results of the first level study led to the primary assumptions of the second, etc. The results of these studies, through June, 1977, have led to the design and installation of two different prototype systems. The first is a 750 m 34 Mbit/s system utilizing a 19 fibre step index cable; the second is a 6 km 140 Mbit/s system utilizing a 6… Show more
