Description
Summary:International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 10-12, 1972 / International Hotel, Los Angeles, California === The transfer of information in the form of light waves via an optical fiber waveguide is discussed. Small size and weight together with high information rate capability make the fibers attractive for various types of communications systems. Description of channel characteristics such as attenuation and bandwidth is given, and possible input and output devices are examined.
