In mid 1980's General Cable worked with Boeing (formerly the McDonnell Douglas Corporation) to develop one of the first optical fiber cable for avionic systems for the AV-8B Harrier. An innovative micro loose tube cable construction was chosen for these fiber types. The specific designs that resulted from this early work have been employed on several aircraft. The fiber used in this design is a polyimide coated 100/140 micrometers graded index fiber. The desired long term operating temperature range of the cable (-65C to +200C) required the use of a material with appropriate thermal and mechanical stability. The final design included a braided layer of high strength PTFE impregnated fiberglass between the FEP microtube extruded over the fiber and the outer FEP jacket. The cable is color coded purple to suit the Boeing aircraft wiring requirements. Different versions of this design have been produced including a new mid-temperature (-55C to +125C) version using new "high-temp" acrylate coated fibers and ETFE polymers. This new version offers the compatibility with standard optical terminus and connector technology

The US military is investing heavily to integrate established optical component designs into packages which survive in the aerospace environment, as well as reduce the weight, space, and cost. The objective of an aerospace WDM backbone standard is to define the minimum set of hardware functions and networking protocols necessary at each node to allow the set up and establishment of connections to the network. The intent is to create a standard with the broadest applicability, hopefully including both commercial and military aerospace, as well as a potential variant to datacom. Today's military/aerospace LANs are characterised by lengths of a few hundred meters at most. Many connections are needed to make the links practical, with the associated variability in loss. Tailoring a WDM solution from the existing telecommunications industry solution is a complex task, but sorely needed to accommodate future needs to military and aerospace communications.

We propose a novel semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based switch architecture for analog applications. Proof-of-principle experiments show that the system is very linear with an SFDR of approximately 100 dB/spl middot/Hz/sup 2/3/ for a switching time of 50 /spl mu/s. The port number of this switch is scalable and can be expanded to 80 /spl times/ 80.

A single fiber network transporting the multitude of signals required on an avionics platform can offer benefits of a lightweight and flexible harness, significantly reduced cabling and improved EMI immunity. In addition, the total bandwidth available and the potential for flexible routing in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) network further offers future growth capabilities, such as faster data and sensor routing for real time reaction to sensor information, without the need for additional cabling. Digital signals on such a military platform clearly benefits from the increased bandwidth. At present, the high dynamic range required by many of the analog RF signals of interest prevents the use of traditional WDM networks employing erbium or semiconductor optical amplification to overcome network node loss due to the noise added to the system. In this paper, the author proposed a technical direction for achieving a flexible, potentially mixed signal, fiber optic network suitable for the various signals and platforms in a coherent optical network utilizing a DSP-assisted optical I/Q demodulating and microwave downconverting receiver for the high dynamic range signal transport. Such a network would allow high fidelity transport of the most demanding analog RF signals while simultaneously transporting less demanding analog RF and digital signals.

We present coherent optical detection of 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s with high sensitivity for fiber-optic and free-space applications. The system can operate at 840 nm, 1064 nm, 1310 nm, and in the S, L and C bands. We show the detection of conventional on/off keying (OOK) as well as differential phase-shift keying (DPSK).

Fly-by-light has been a research and development area for the last 15 years, and much progress has been made in many areas involving the components technologies. The next phase of developments in fly-by-light involves systems and architectural issues together with parameters that requires integration of such components in the next generation avionics and fly-by-light systems. Such deployments of optical networking technology for all communications, command, and control functions within an aircraft are compelling. Moreover, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is particularly useful for supporting diverse applications in a systematic and comprehensive manner. This paper describes a basic WDM architecture utilizing: 1) passive optical coupling for distributed signal collection (multiplexing), 2) passive optical splitting for signal distribution and separation (demultiplexing), and 3) centralized processing of information bearing signals utilizing multi-processors for demanding applications or multiprogrammed computers for less demanding functions. Standardized WDM interfaces on generic processor cards in the centralized locations support a variety of network structures. Key considerations in the chosen architecture are: 1) built-in performance monitoring, 2) automatic protection switching for fault tolerance, 3) accommodation of existing applications, and 4) extensibility to future, unknown applications.
