One of the major purposes of this project was to demonstrate optical components which will be used in fibre optic distribution systems. These include the fibre itself, couplers, connectors,
splices, sources and detectors. All components used are state-of-the-art, the star coupler and fusion splice technique being developed by the author during the completion of the project. The star coupler has proved to have one of the lowest insertion losses of any such component to date. Although the telephone system demonstrated has only 3 stations, very similar or identical components would be used in an expanded network. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
