由美国国际贸易委员会提供的一份有关光纤工业全球竞争性的最新报告表明,美国由于生产工艺处于领先地位并拥有一些重要的专利,使他在国内市场和国外市场上处于强有力的竞争地位。然而,这份报告指出,在未来几年中,由于一些基本专利开始到期,美国工业在本国和外国市场上可能要面临日本、西欧和加拿大一些公司的强有力的挑战。有些工业分析家相信,一些正在研制潜在应用所需的电光技术的公司一定会获得光纤光缆销售中的主要地位。虽然光纤工业的增长,尤其在通信领域已 A recent report on the global competitiveness of the optical fiber industry provided by the US International Trade Commission shows that the United States has a strong competitive position in the domestic market as well as in foreign markets due to its leading position in production technology and possession of some important patents. However, the report pointed out that in the next few years, due to the beginning of some basic patents, U.S. industry may face strong challenges from Japanese, Western European and Canadian companies in both domestic and foreign markets. Some industrial analysts believe that some companies that are developing the electro-optic technology required for potential applications will certainly gain a major position in the sales of fiber optic cable. Although the growth of the optical fiber industry, especially in the field of communications,
