Abstract :
Important factors related to further improvement and extension of optical-fiber transmission system performance are discussed, focusing on repeater spacing, data rate, and optical frequency utility. Relevant progress in optical-fiber loss, semiconductor laser properties (such as output power, spectrum, and modulation speed), low-noise broad-band photodetectors, and optical-frequency multiplexers/demultiplexers are reviewed
