New Frontiers – Ultra High Speed Communications

Public and private networks are experiencing unprecedented end-user demand for bandwidth, resulting in a need to cost-effectively scale the capacity of communications networks. The amount of backbone Internet bandwidth maintained by major Internet carriers has been expanding by 75% to 125% per year. 40 Gb/s networks already have a history of success; and 100 Gb/s rates are introduced by major service providers. Industry analysts are already talking about 400 Gb/s and even 1 Tb/s interfaces; such rates are becoming a necessity for data centers and computing networks, as well as for long haul applications including terrestrial submarine extensions.

Fiber Optic Sensors Global Market Forecast and Analysis 2011-2016

Fiber optic sensor consumption value will grow at an impressive average annual rate of 20.5% from $1.34 billion to $3.39 billion over the next five years. Use of fiber optic interface extrinsic sensors is forecast to increase at 18.15% per year. Meanwhile, worldwide consumption value for fiber optic intrinsic sensors is forecast to increase at an average annual growth rate of nearly 20.7% during the 2011-2016 forecast period.

Extrinsic sensing takes place in a region outside of the optical fiber and the optical fiber acts as a transmission media of light to and from (linking) the sensing interface. In contrast, with an intrinsic sensor, one or more of the sensing/measuring quantity or physical properties (measurand) of the optical fiber passes through or inside the optical fiber and therefore experiences a change.
