  • Abstract
    The hallmark of components for submarine applications is reliability. Assembly and manufacture of these components requires scrupulous control of incoming parts and assembly processes, particularly the fiber pigtail. Although there are many aspects to assembly of submarine system optical components, this talk will focus on our experience with handling fibers, controlling suppliers, monitoring processes and assuring reliability for submarine system optical components
