  • Comparison of optical systems with existing microwave radio and millimeter waveguide technologies.

    • Main Results:

    • Experimental optical transmission systems demonstrate information capacities comparable to RF channels.
    • Two transmission media, atmospheric and enclosed, are under investigation for performance improvement.
    • Optical systems are not yet competitive for high-reliability common carrier services.

    Conclusions:

    • Further advancements are needed in long-distance optical transmission techniques.
    • Optical repeater components require further development to match lower-frequency counterparts.
    • Optical communication technology shows promise but requires maturation for widespread reliable deployment.
