Microwave photonic links and RF photonics will appear frequently in military antenna systems. As photonic link performance continues to improve, RF Photonics insertion into antenna systems will expand in areas including RF pre-processing and filtering, RF front-end technology, A/D conversion, photonic switched true time delay (TTD) beam forming networks for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance as well as electronic warfare manned and unmanned applications.

We presented a low cost experimental WLED transceiver which is capable to perform wireless communication at 10 Mb/s in an airplane or a space craft physical environment. From the experimental results, we derived the operational requirements of the WLED transceiver with OOK NRZ modulation. These results demonstrate the WLED wireless communication link technology is viable for size, weight, power and cost reduction in future generation of airplanes and space vehicles.

A tunable distributed feedback (DFB) laser packaging platform has been developed for military avionic application. The packaged tunable DFB laser transmitter has successfully undergone 500 temperature cycles of initial testing based on MIL-STD-883 Method 1010. It has a wide operating temperature range of -55 degC to 95 degC with a single mode fiber coupled output power of >1 mW. The transmitter can be directly modulated at 2.5 Gb/s and has 4-channel tunability at 100 GHz channel spacing.

To address the need for better agreement between test sets and to provide a conservative measurement, standards formulating committees in both TIA and IEC have been developing new launch conditions for the purpose of measuring the loss of installed 50-mum and 62.5-mum multimode cabling. After more than two years of development, this work is leading to revisions of multiple existing standards that may serve both enterprise and avionics environments.

The author discuss the the technology, performance and applications of hermetic fiber optic connectors. The main challenges of providing hermetic fiber optic connectors are: (1) manufacture a hermetic fiber optic contact : hermetically seal the fiber into the ferrule without damaging it and (2) hermetically assemble the fiber optic contacts into an insert and the connector shell.

Compound semiconductors-silicon integration has never been of such great demand until the recent difficulty to maintain Moore's law in the microelectronics industry. Recently, we have developed a hybrid silicon evanescent platform (HSEP), which enables the coherent marriage of incompatible characteristics of III-V and silicon, i.e., direct bandgap and high mobility at III-V side and mature CMOS manufacturability and low-optical loss at silicon side. A series of critical components including lasers, amplifiers, photodetectors, and modulators have been successfully implemented in this platform.

Three-dimensional (3D) system integration is widely accepted as a key enabler for future systems. Although there are a number of approaches to 3D integration, none have addressed the need for cooling in a 3D stack of high-performance chips (microprocessors). This is a significant omission and imposes a constraint on the ability to fully utilize the benefits of 3D technology. Thus, new 3D integration technologies are needed for high-performance applications as well as those that require the integration of photonics within the 3D stack.

The development of a transceiver module was presented. The transceiver is capable of transmitting and receiving 4 wavelength channels. Each channel of the module can be modulated at 2.5 Gbps. Significant performance improvements including operation at 10 Gbps are expected after the integration of a microlens array into the optical subassembly.
