Abstract
Following a decade of intensive research, optical fiber transmission emerged in the late 1970´s as a major innovation in telecommunications. This paper reviews the progress in the field of optical fiber communication. Advances in the areas of fibers, cables, passive components, active devices, and systems are presented in historical perspective. Recent research and development accomplishments that are likely to have important impact on future systems are emphasized.
