Abstract
The technology of optical waveguide systems has developed rapidly over the past few years, and they now appear to offer vast new capabilities in urban communications. A review and a status report of this technology is given; glass fiber waveguides are discussed in some detail because they show considerable promise for interactive networks. Optical sources, detectors, and integrated optical circuits are discussed.
