Abstract

Industrial manufacturing of low loss optical fiber cables and their specific splicing toolings, together with recent developments of optoelectronic components will lead to real systems installations in the 1980’s. The requirements for these new systems are related to some of the fiber characteristics:

  • protection against electromagnetic perturbations

  • radiation leakage

  • small size

  • low weight

  • electrical isolation

  • high bandwidth

  • low attenuation

  • low cost expectation

Understanding fiber optic transmission systems requires a knowledge of the characteristics of optoelectronic transmitters and receivers, which do not differ much from traditional copper pairs (choice of analog to digital modulation, total attenuation, etc.). Therefore, throughout this course we will limit our effort to descriptions of specific elements, essentially those whose parameters are directly connected to system performance.
