  I would recommend that you look into Codenoll fiber optic Ethernet modems.
The University of Minnesota is using them to tie about 6 buildings together
on an Ethernet.  The modem acts just like any standard transciever except
that it gets you on/off an optical fiber.  You can either plug the transceiver
into an Ethernet controller or something like the DEC Ethernet Repeater if
you just want to tie the 2 segments together.
