Abstract
The interest in adapting fiber optic (F0) data links to a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from measurements instrumentation and local data couuuunications to long-distance telephone communications, is continuously increasing. This high interest results from the advantages that optical fibers have over metallic conductors for transmitting information. The advantages depend on the application but include the following :
-
Immunity from electromagnetic interference
-
No electromagnetic emission
-
Freedom from ground loops
-
Smaller cable size and weight
-
Higher bandwidth
-
Longer link length without repeaters
-
Potentially lower cost in volume production.
