Aerius photonics' has developed a miniature laser rangefinder/altimeter for autonomous navigation and landing in small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The with a system weight of only 26 grams and a range response from 0 to 100 meters, the unit is capable of insertion into platforms with very small payloads and enables new navigation capabilities previously difficult to achieve.

We review a proposed physical layer reference path for an optical WDM network for avionics. To obtain the most realistic assessment, critical components are identified and their characteristics measured.

In the avionic system, it is very important to monitor the pressure difference on the space objective for safety. In this paper, we present a smart pressure sensing system by combining the advanced technologies on fiber optic sensors and computational intelligence to improve the overall sensor system performance.

Photonics, with its virtually infinite bandwidth, electrical noise immunity, small size, low cost, and increased capacity are being inserted into a number of military platforms to handle higher data rates and larger traffic volumes. Such increased data rates between the various subsystems drive the interconnect solution to be fiber optics. These military fiber optic cables are meant for severe environments, with shock, vibration, and wide temperature ranges not typically required for commercial applications. Currently, the manufacturing of these aircraft fiber optic cables is manually intensive, requiring a high degree of manual dexterity and skill to achieve stringent performance requirements.

In this paper the reader is provided a premise for re-evaluating the physical and logical importance of viewing an air vehicle's fiber optic cabling infrastructure as a standalone system. Benefits derived from a systems design view will dramatically affect mission performance, service life, reliability, supportability, and maintainability requirements for today's and tomorrow's photonics based avionics systems.

Two very expensive pieces of test equipment, the high resolution optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) and the optical backscatter reflectometer (OBR) can quantitatively measure the reflectance of interconnections in short fiber optic cable assemblies. In this paper, the authors propose a simpler method to qualitatively measure interconnection reflectance in avionic and aerospace fiber optic cable assemblies with less sophisticated equipment and more quickly determine the status of the communication link.
