Hello, I just thought to request that whoever wrote this page, and possibly any other Wikipedians who wrote on technical subjects, cite references. For example, I am looking for the original Yariv and Yeh publication of 1979 on "Bragg Fibers" that is mentioned roughly half way through the article. Normally, this may satisfy either someone very familiar with the industry, Yariv, and Yeh or the non-technical passerby, both of which seek no further inquiry but to satisfy the initial general knowledge requirement. However, to facilitate any additional inquiry would mean providing some sort of citation. As I am sure most are aware, without knowledge of the publisher it is an unfortunately long and arduous task of tracking claims, such as the one mentioned above, since the journals for scientific and technical publication are so numerous and obscure to most libraries.
Cheers,
Joe Gorse

- I've added the references (note that, in any case they are easily found via a search engine, given the authors, year(s), and a keyword or two, so the situation was not quite as bad as you describe). —Steven G. Johnson 04:13, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
Most things are easy to find if you know where to look and what, exactly, you're looking for. =) In any case, thanks for the update! Cheers, Joe
