Abstract	Undersea lightwave systems have been in service since 1988 across the Atlantic Ocean, and since 1989 across the Pacific Ocean. These high-capacity, 280-Mb/s (megabit per second) digital communications systems have brought about a revolution in available system capacity and service quality compared to prior analog coaxial systems. In 1991, the technological progress continued as we began to install the higher capacity systems (i.e., 560 Mb/s) that use advances in laser and fiber technology. On the drawing board are systems targeted for service in 1995 that are based on revolutionary optical-amplifier technology with 5,000-Mb/s capacity. This paper will capture this unprecedented progress in undersea communications history. We start with the experience gained with today's undersea lightwave systems, then describe plans for the next-generation systems, and conclude with a look at the newest amplifier-based system technology.
