An ultra high speed data transmission system using optical fibers and gallium arsenide digital integrated circuits has been investigated. The system is designed to meet the increased data rate requirements of modern information processing systems as well as those of future imaging devices and high spatial resolution detectors. A description of the system which uses available components made for the transmission and reception of data at 780 Mbit/s rates is given. Methods for digitizing, multiplexing, demultiplexing, error checking, etc., are also described, and a discussion of the reliability of components is presented. 15 refs.; 9 figs.
