Abstract

Telephone companies worldwide are rushing to equip their networks with fibre optics in place of conventional copper wiring. In 1984 orders stood at 40 million and British Telecommunications claim that during 1985 26,000 km of “light‐lines” will be used. Forward projections indicate that by 1990 all Britain's major cities will be connected in this way and copper wire will be obsolete by the end of the century. The US boasts 250,000 miles of network already laid but Japan leads in the field with a 15‐year plan to have optical fibres connecting every home. Research continues into a more efficient lower‐cost fibre as an alternative to silica, to produce faster pulsing lasers, and to examine applications in the area of sensors.

Abstract

The librarian and researcher have to be able to uncover specific articles in their areas of interest. This Bibliography is designed to help. Volume IV, like Volume III, contains features to help the reader to retrieve relevant literature from MCB University Press' considerable output. Each entry within has been indexed according to author(s) and the Fifth Edition of the SCIMP/SCAMP Thesaurus. The latter thus provides a full subject index to facilitate rapid retrieval. Each article or book is assigned its own unique number and this is used in both the subject and author index. This Volume indexes 29 journals indicating the depth, coverage and expansion of MCB's portfolio.
