This book is an outgrowth of a course given by the author for
people in industry, government, and universities wishing to
understand the implica tions of emerging optical fiber technology,
and how this technology can be applied to their specific
information transport and sensing system needs. The course, in
turn, is an outgrowth of 15 exciting years during which the author
participated in the research and development, as well as in the
application, of fiber technology. The aim of this book is to
provide the reader with a working knowledge of the components and
subsystems which make up fiber systems and of a wide variety of
implemented and proposed applications for fiber technology. The
book is directed primarily at those who would be users, as opposed
to developers, of the technology. The first half of this book is an
overview of components and subsys tems including fibers,
connectors, cables, sources, detectors, receivers, transmitters,
and miscellaneous components. The goal is to familiarize the reader
with the properties of these components and subsystems to the
extent necessary to understand their potential applications and
limitations.

All critical infrastructures are increasingly dependent on the
information infrastructure for information management,
communications, and control functions. Protection of the critical
information infrastructure (CIIP), therefore, is of prime concern.
To help with this step, the National Academy of Engineering asked
the NRC to assess the various legal issues associated with CIIP.
These issues include incentives and disincentives for information
sharing between the public and private sectors, and the role of
FOIA and antitrust laws as a barrier or facilitator to progress.
The report also provides a preliminary analysis of the role of
criminal law, liability law, and the establishment of best
practices, in encouraging various stakeholders to secure their
computer systems and networks.
