Abstract
Key optical fiber components are being more fully characterized through research efforts. As a result, system product specifications have been firmed up for a range of applications. Much of the current research is toward ensuring that essential and related performance parameters are achieved simultaneously and repeatedly. Essentially, pertinent process parameters are being studied so that appropriate control can be implemented. A nondielectric high-strength small-size liber cable for wide temperature operation is an example which illustrates the various performance parameters to be achieved simultaneously. A receiver with specific sensitivity and dynamic range is another example. The research work toward meeting short term goals is mainly in these directions and can be illustrated through some targeted system specifications.
