摘要: Optical fiber has evolved from a not-so-transparent glass tube to an extraordinarily efficient transmission medium. It is now acknowledged as central element of modern telecommunication being part the whole optimization process further improve system performance and cost. In this paper, we briefly introduce problematics well key characteristics. We then review elements design for optimized optical communication networks, including metropolitan, long ultra-long haul applications show how fibers have over last ten years keep pace with more demanding requirement system.
