Favorable climate for fiber-optic cable worldwide. The next decade in the global fiber-optic cable market will mark the rise and fall of the suboceanic segment, an increase in multimode-cable deployment, and the development of a new sales channel for data-communications networks.
Trends in optical-fiber technologies. The requirements posed by tomorrow's high-speed networks will affect both the types of fiber produced and the way they are manufactured.
Optical-fiber selection considerations with evolving system technologies. Advances in optical technology have changed the parameters by which different fiber types should be judged. Singlemode fiber is now both economical and capable for a wide range of highspeed applications.
Ten reasons OTDRs and power meters give different loss results. One tool may be more expensive than the other, but that doesn't mean it always provides the most accurate measurements.
System tradeoffs in optical-fiber design for long-haul applications. The tradeoffs between fibers that maximize effective area versus those that minimize dispersion slope in long-haul terrestrial networks indicate that each type is best suited for specific applications.
Multimode fiber for Gigabit Ethernet laser applications. The use of laser sources for Gigabit Ethernet multimode networks calls into question the methods now used for characterizing fiber bandwidth.
