Summer REMS At Home: Transoceanic Fibre Optic Cables Interconnecting the World

Since the first transoceanic cable was installed in the 19th Century, data rates have increased from as little as 1b/s to tens of Tb/s. This phenomenal advance in communications has been enabled predominantly by using optical fibres and associated technology.

This year's REMs Summer at Home event describes undersea fibreoptic telecommunication systems and explores the technological advances that have made todays reliable undersea communications a commercial reality, from infrared lasers to coherent receivers, low loss optical fibres to optical amplifiers and high voltage cables to submerged repeaters.
