Abstract

Optical fibre transmission systems are now moving inexorably towards the field trial stage of development following a variety of advances during the research stage. These developments are reviewed together with the various systems that stem from them and their possible uses are discussed. Over the last few years the intense study of optical systems by both physicists and engineers has led to some interesting links being formed between optical and microwave concepts
