Single-mode fiber transformed telecommunications in the 1970s and 1980s by raising the ceiling for communication bandwidth over transoceanic distances. It took years of R&D to get there though. Remember, we’re sending light through tens of kilometers of glass without regeneration. Imagine how pure the glass of an 80km thick window needs to be in order to see through it!
In Episode 46, we continue our conversation with Roshene McCool, expert in fiber networks for telecommunications & scientific instrumentation at Corning Optical Communications. We get into optical amplifiers and optical nonlinearity.
