Will lightwave communication be useful
Abstract
Within the last ten years glass fibers have been developed that are capable of transmitting optical signals over distances that are long enough to have potential use for many kinds of communications. They may replace wires, coaxial cable, and microwave links in many applications, and some forecasters expect them to do so within the next ten years. A technology assessment of lightwave communication systems is presented.
