Optical fiber amplifiers for telecommunication systems
IEEE Communications Magazine, 1996Optical amplification is of strategic importance for telecommunications. Optical amplifiers compensate for propagation losses in long distance links and branching losses in access networks, at the same time avoiding costly two-way conversions between optical and electrical signals.

Optical and optoelectronic devices for optical fiber transmission systems
IEEE Communications Magazine, 1988The present status and research trends in light sources, detectors, and various optical components are described, focusing mainly on those for single-mode fiber systems. Laser-diode and light-emitting-diode sources are described, and their problems and advantages are examined.

FIBER OPTIC SYSTEM FOR WATER SPECTROSCOPY
2007An innovative series of optical fiber sensors for water monitoring, based on spectroscopic interrogation, is presented. Two types of custom-design instrumentation were developed, both making use of LED light sources and low-cost detectors to perform broadband spectral measurements in the visible spectral range.

The Calculation of Error Rates for Optical Fiber Systems
IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1978Summary: In this paper an exact analysis of probability of error for optical fiber communication systems is described using the Gauss quadrature rule (GQR) and the moments of the decision circuit input signal. As an example of the analysis, two line codes for a system with 280 Mbits/s, the binary code and the bi-phase code, are compared.

Optical fibers provide the ability to use optics instead of metallic media to achieve numerous useful end results. In all cases the fiber requires an optical source and detector and cannot be used alone. As a result, optical fiber applications must always be considered in combination with their required E/O and O/E converters.
