Abstract :
Future undersea lightwave systems will very likely employ 1.55-μm lightwave technology. This paper discusses the technical trends for such systems, and outlines the major options available for their design. Repeater spacings for these systems can be over 100 km, almost double the spacing for present 1.3-μm systems.
