Some fundamental problems relating to optical fibres:I The attainment of loss coefficients of 10<sup>-5</sup> cm<sup>-1</sup>, II The ultimate bandwidth performance of optical fibre transmission lines
Fibres for optical communications are currently being made with two types of material, namely low-temperature compound glasses and high-temperature silica-based glasses. The paper outlines the techniques used in the two cases and summarizes the results which have so far been achieved.
