Joseph A. Hull and A. Glenn Hanson, “Optical Fiber Communications Link Design in Compliance with Systems Performance Standards,” Technical Report NTIA TR-84-154, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Institute for Telecommunication Sciences, August 1984.
Abstract: An engineering approach to the design of optical fiber communication links to meet mandated specifications for performance and interoperability is described. The report follows and expands upon technical guidance originally developed for MIL-STD-188-111, Subsystem Design and Engineering Standards for Common Long Haul and Tactical Fiber Optics Communications. The engineering approach should be useful in the implementation of other Government and voluntary standards under development.
