Abstract :
The dynamic interaction between network topologies, optical transmission systems and optical fiber designs has fuelled an impressive evolution of the optical communications industry. In this work we will reflect briefly on the evolution of telecommunications systems in order to identify the fundamental triggers. An understanding of these triggers can potentially enable early prediction of the next wave of optical fiber innovations and their respective impact back into systems and networks.
