Abstract :
Optical fibers, optical transmission systems, and optical Accessories to apply fiber optics to deep-sea exploration systems are described. The discussion of fibers cover the construction of the fiber and cable and the useful life of optical fibers. Considerations in designing a system (number of fibers and multiplexing method) are discussed. Accessories such as optical feedthroughs, optical connectors, and optical rotary connectors are examined. A composite fiber-optic/coaxial cable system successfully operated for one year is described
