Abstract: A 2-km fiber-optical telecommunication line was investigated. Specially developed new semiconductor heterolasers, emitting at the wavelength of 1.3 μ, and low-loss optical fibers were used in this line. The energy characteristics of the new lasers were found to be suitable for data transmission over tens of kilometers.
