Description
Summary:Recent advances in lasers suggestpotential applicationsto communication systems. Anassessment of these potentialities is particularlydifficult because of the incomplete state ofknowledge, but certain threads of thought arebegining to form quite clearly and its is mainly suchaspects that can discuss. For communication systemsrequiring several millions of speech channels,optical communication could well prove to haveeconomic advantages. A smaller scale, an opticalguide could provide communication channels at acost competitive with another systems.Communication using beamed optical transmissionis another alternative.
