Research abstract
Current wire guided torpedoes rely upon conventional metal conductors for the communications link between the submarine and torpedo.As the range of torpedoes increases, the bandwidth of this link decreases, and the rate of data transmission drops.The use of optical fiber cables in place of the conventional wire promises very significant increases in bandwidth and also a saving in space, since a single fiber can be used in place of the current 2 wires.The need therefore is for a small diameter (0.030
