研究目的
To provide a historical overview of optical fibers and optical fiber communications, describe essential elements of an optical fiber communications link, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of optical fibers.
研究成果
Optical fiber communication is a dominant technology for long-distance broadband services due to its large bandwidth, low transmission loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The technology has evolved through several generations, improving in performance and application scope.
研究不足
The paper does not explicitly mention research limitations but implies challenges such as the difficulty in making connections to optical fiber cables and the need for specialized tools for splicing and repair.
