For subscribers,service at 30 charac-ters per second will cost $24 per hour and a higher-speed service at 120 characters persecond will cost $48 per hour after the free trial.Nonsubscribers will pay either$48 or $96 per hour,depending on the transmission speed used.Subscribers would thus payabout $8 an issue at 30 characters per second and about $4 an issue at higher speed to ob-tain instant delivery.  \nTo learn how to obtain this new service from FIBER/LASER NEWS and NewsNet,contactJohn W.Farley,Executive Editor,Phillips Publishing Inc.,7315 Wisconsin Ave.,Suite1200N,Bethesda,MD 20814,301/986-0666.  \n## PURE GLASS TECHNIQUES CREDITED WITH BRITISH TELECOM WORLD RECORD OPTICAL FIBER LENGTH\n\nBritish Telecom used advanced fabrication processes to achieve the world's record re-peaterless fiber optic link--102 km--in what its developers at the Martlesham Heath Re-search Center call the telecommunications equivalent of the 4-minute mile--also first ac-complished by an Englishman.  \nAs reported in FIBER/LASER NEWS March 5,British Telecom employed a monomode contin-uous fiber operating at the 1500 nm wavelength to double the previous record length(around 60 km by GTE Labs using 1300 nm fiber).  \nNow,British Telecom researchers are revealing that the fiber was drawn from a pre-form of glass 0.75m long and 2.5 cm in diameter using the modified chemical vapor deposi-tion(MCVD)method.This reduces impurities so much that researchers say a 12-mile-thickblock of their glass would be as transparent as an ordinary glass windowpane.  \nThe preform is coated with silicone resin and drawn steadily to a 5 micron monomode  \nfiber in a zirconium induction furnace heated to 2000°c.The result is a fiber with at-tenuation of less than 0.3 db/km at the 1500 nm wavelength.  \nThe lasers used in the system are made of gallium indium phosphide using the liquidphase epitaxy(LPE)process,and the detectors are made with the simpler vapor phase epi-taxy(VPE)process.  \nO  \nTwo British Telecom scientists,B.J.Ainslie and C.R.Day,will deliver an invitedpaper this week a","cbCaikzJtMyiA3sf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikzJtMyiA3sf","pdf",2899841,"English","# FIBER/LASER NEWS LAUNCHES ELECTRONIC EDITION WITH THIS ISSUE\n## PURE GLASS TECHNIQUES CREDITED WITH BRITISH TELECOM WORLD RECORD OPTICAL FIBER LENGTH\n## IBM REPORTS EXCIMER LASER TECHNIQUES THAT COULD GREATLY IMPROVE SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSES","[{\"question\":\"What new service does this issue introduce for Fiber/Laser News subscribers?\",\"answer\":\"It launches Fiber/Laser News’ first electronic edition through NewsNet, offering a 30-day free trial for a limited number of subscribers and then billing based on usage and transmission speed.\"},{\"question\":\"How did British Telecom achieve the world record optical fiber length?\",\"answer\":\"British Telecom used advanced fabrication with monomode continuous fiber drawn from glass preforms via modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD), reducing impurities and achieving low attenuation at 1500 nm.\"},{\"question\":\"What is IBM’s key goal with excimer laser techniques in semiconductor processing?\",\"answer\":\"IBM reports excimer laser methods that can produce sub-micron features (e.g., 0.5 micron lines) to improve lithography resolution, supporting the fabrication of smaller integrated circuit elements.\"}]","Fiber/Laser News - Vol. 2 No. 8 - Biweekly Report on Optical Fiber and Laser Technology | PDF",1790705740,23]
