In June 1978 the University of Rhode Island conducted a three-day
short course on Recent Advances in Fiber Optics. followed by a
two-day conference on the Physics of Fiber Optics. The course
contained over a dozen lectures spanning a wide range of subject
matter from fundamental theory to operational systems. presented by
well-known scientists from industry. government and academic
institutions. The conference. on the other hand. emphasized basic
research on fiber optics and related subjects. This volume contains
both papers presented at the conference. as well as the majority of
the lectures from the course (the written versions were solicited
on a voluntary basis for this volume). In some cases the papers in
this volume represent expanded or otherwise modified versions of
the original presentations. One of the principal aims of the
conference was promulgation of novel and/or unconventional
concepts. For this reason. the papers in this volume cover subjects
such as bistable optical switches. fiber acoustic sensors. extruded
infrared fibers. compressively coated glass fibers. and soliton
propagation in fibers.
