Abstract :
Frequency-division multiplexing techniques offer means for circumventing the bandwidth limitations of optical modulators and detector. Practical broad-band long-distance optical communication system of this type appear feasible and some possible embodiments are described. Calculations are made to determine the approximate information capacity and other characteristics of several 4000-mile repeaterad systems.
