Recently, the Polymer Optical Fiber Application Center (POF AC) at the University of Applied Sciences, Nuremberg has developed a polymer optical fiber (POF) elongation sensor. This work analyzes if this design could substitute the traditional strain gauges that are commonly used in structural health monitoring (SHM) tests, or the quite recent sensors based on fiber Bragg gratings.

In this paper, we extend these photonic process techniques to a 16-ary, 12.5 Gb/s (10 Gb/s plus 8B/10B line coding) PPM communications system for fiber optic avionics, wherein much of the receiver processing is enabled by techniques based on planar lightwave circuits (PLCs). The architecture is applicable to higher input data rates and M-ary PPM. In the following, we present the PPM encoding and decoding architectures and numerically simulated results.

We demonstrated an avionic-representative link at 1 Gb/s with a span of 100 m. The performances are compliant with IEEE GbE specifications and tolerant to ldquoproduction breaksrdquo. In order to validate the reliability of this solution, additional connectors influence on the link performances need to be checked. Also, temperature in the [-40, +85degC] range, and vibrations constrains need to be tested. At term, we expect the transceiver to be improved to include the MMF coupling function, which will help controlling the return losses. Avionic standards, namely ARINC 800 requirements, shall finally be taken into account in link specification.

In addition to a small form factor, low drive current and low power dissipation, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are integrable into arrays with either a surface-normal or an in-plane, waveguide-coupled geometry, which enables a compact, wideband optical interconnect. The wavelength division multiplexing of high speed VCSEL arrays, in a discrete or monolithic format, provides a compact interconnect technology minimizing SWaP for avionic application.

We explore the possibility and challenges of designing a mobile FSO system for remotely operated platforms. Therefore low power and light weight are essential qualities. The paper demonstrates a 10 MHz mobile FSO communication with low power consumption, light weight and low cost. The system is mounted on a mobile platform with the battery power. We realize arbitrary signal transfer at 50 meters, design the tracking system using beam splitting technique, and successfully interfaced to Ethernet for a packet transmission. LDs and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used respectively in the transmitter design and be compared on the system performance. The LD transmitter consumes 600 mW of total power, and outputs 15mW of optical power, which is better than that of the LED-based system.
