Abstract
The current status and R&D directions in optical fiber for use in communications systems, focusing on silica-based fibers, are reviewed. Fiber material systems, high-performance fiber designs, silica-based fiber reliability issues and fabrication processes, fiber passive components, fiber-based optical amplifiers and lasers, and fiber nonlinear effects are discussed.Keywords
