ABSTRACT: Recent advances in optical communication technology make it possible to contemplate the economic installation of AM/Digital video laser transmitters and receivers in interoffice, loop-feeder and subscriber loop distribution single-more fiber optic transmission systems. AM/Digital video laser transmitters and receivers are critical in determining the multi supplier compatibility and cost-effectiveness of these fiber systems.

This document provides the Telcordia view of generic requirements and characteristics of AM/Digital video laser transmitters and receivers, including requirements for reliability, operations and surveillance.
