Deep-sea trial of an undersea lightwave system

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

In early Sept. 1982, the major components of the SL Undersea Lightwave system were tested In what Is believed to be the first deep-sea trial of any lightwave system. An 18-km lightwave cable plus a repeater were laid in over 5.5-km deep water In the Atlantic Ocean ~660 nmi ENE from Bermuda. Transmission was monitored through twelve single-mode fibers and two submersed regenerators during laying, holding, and recovery operations. The presentation will discuss details of the operations and the measurements.
