The first slides are of descriptions of the various systems for transmission of data being researched at the time in the 1960s—e.g., confocal and gas lens, hollow and thin film waveguides. There are then a few slides of experimental graphic data such as the fiber loss, measurements, and attenuation of the early optical fiber. The last slides give the theories and experimental result of optics, with some slides showing how the glass fiber is drawn in production and how the historical use of optical fibers has grown so swiftly worldwide in the last decade.
