Fiber-Optic Technologies
This chapter from a 2004 book about optical-fiber network design covers a brief history of fiber-optic communications and "its wide spread applications ranging from global networks to desktop computers." Topics addressed include the physics behind fiber-optics, optical-cable construction, and fiber-optic cable systems. Although some of the material is technical, also includes background for laymen. From Cisco Press, a publisher for Cisco certification and network technology self-study resources.
