Abstract
In this paper we present the principle figures of merit that quantify the performance of analog fiber-optic links. We list the main applications of analog links and speculate on what level of performance from a single link would satisfy the requirements of all these applications. We discuss the extent to which present device technology precludes the achievement of this level of performance, and specify the technology advancements required to close this perfomance gap
