Standard Form 298 (Rev. 8-98)Prescribed by ANSI Std. Z39.18Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing this collection of information. We present an analysis of the design considerations for creating a long, high-bandwidth, and high stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) threshold fiber optic link by concatenating lengths of differing fiber types. These considerations are then applied to the construction of a 20.4-km link.
