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.
