FIBER OPTICS OFFER A NUMBER OF ADVANTAGES IN COMPARISON WITH COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES FOR COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS. SOURCES AND DETECTORS FOR FIBER OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE, BUT LOW-LOSS FIBERS, REQUIRED FOR MOST APPLICATIONS, ARE STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE. WITH CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS IN COMPONENTS, FIBER OPTICS MAY EVENTUALLY HANDLE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE INFORMATION TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS FOR MILITARY AND CIVILIAN SECTORS. /AUTHOR/
