Abstract

Following a description of the requirements for increased bandwidth in communication systems, together with an outline of the early attempts at optical communication which resulted in optical fibre waveguides, several potential optical communication systems and their microwave equivalents are compared. The properties of optical fibres are reviewed, and comparisons with coaxial and microwave relay systems presented. Existing optical fibre systems are comparatively crude and possible future developments are discussed.
