“…However, there are three noteworthy exceptions. Tanaka et al (1975) fabricated a fibre having a silica core and a cladding made from a silicone resin that has an index of 1.40 (silica has 1.46). Even though the minimum absorption of the cladding material itself is 900 dB km-1 at 0.77 pm, fibres made with this combination exhibit transmission losses as low as 5 dB km-1 at this wavelength (Tanaka et a l 1975).…”

Following the invention of the laser, the understanding of optical phenomena has progressed rapidly and new technologies have emerged with enormous potential for useful application. Among these, the technology of communication by light through glass fibres stands out. This review takes the reader from the concepts and science of light guidance to the challenges of fabricating modern glass fibres and engineering optical systems. It includes a review of the most recent understanding of the physics and chemistry of optical fibres. It illustrates the choices that exist, ranging from a variety of fibre structures to options in operating wavelength and modulation format. The reader finds a discussion of the opportunities that fibre systems present for a variety of communications applications from simple telephone connections to high-capacity ocean cable systems.

“…Les problèmes de tenue mécanique des fibres, de leur gainage [73,74] (qui peut améliorer notablement celle-ci) du câblage d'ensembles de fibres ainsi que les problèmes de raccordement et de connecteurs devront recevoir des solutions transposables à l'échelle industrielle pour que les systèmes correspondants puissent quitter le laboratoire.…”

Production of glass fibres for optical communications. Optical communications requires lightguide glass fibres with low absorption and scattering losses. A brief description of the principal criteria of light conduction in these fibres is followed by an account of present‐day methods of producing highly pure glasses and fibres. These techniques yield fibres of several kilometers in length with a light attention of about 1 dB/km.
