Does anyone know of any links to some good fiber optic information? I'm not looking for suppliers or sales pitches...rather something like www.Microwaves101.com , but for fiber optics...

Other than arguments on comparisons, I haven't found too much in PF.

Thanks.

Even though you're not looking for suppliers, the manufacturers will often have good Application Notes and other info at their websites. What bandwidth are you looking for? Multi-mode or single-mode fiber? What's the application?
 
True. Still unsure about the application. Just looking to understand what's out there. Thx.
 
Excellent, thanks.
