The 3-mil air gap carbon block protector, which has a maximum sparkover value of (iOO peak volts, is the basic protection device employed by the Bell System for the protection of communication a p
Multi-channel subcarrier-modulated video transmission systems and the limitations imposed by laser linearity and noise are discussed.
In the early nineteen seventies, Corning Glass Works demonstrated the first optical fiber with low enough transmission losses to threaten other high capacity transmission media, such as the then po
The feasibility of using a frequency-modulated laser followed by an interferometer in a subcarrier multiplexed system is considered.
Twenty years have passed since the first serious proposal was made to employ a glass fiber waveguide as a telecommunications transmission medium.
We plan to describe the fiber and electrooptic components available for various lightwave LANS.
This memorandum covers the development of lightwave receiver circuits as influenced by photodetector and transistor noise physics and by lightwave system requirements.
We describe the design and performance of multi-channel AM-VSB lightwave CATV systems.
Recent advances have brought semiconductor amplifiers to the stage where lightwave systems employing amplifiers in some aspects clearly out-perform traditional systems.
Some of the limitations related to the design of laser packages for very high speed applications are discussed.
