“…Soon thereafter, under the ARPAsponsored Avionics Optoelectronic Module Technology program, Boeing initiated a collaborative study with Honeywell to understand the reliability and performance limits of uncooled VCSEL devices for potential use in multimode fiber-based avionics applications [15]. Back in 1997, the primary issue limiting widespread fiber optics and photonics technology insertion on aerospace platforms was affordability (owing to low volume use and little packaging standardization/commonality across the various avionics applications) [16].…”

The military/aerospace platform operational environment challenges the creativity of fiber optic module packaging engineers as they endeavor to develop and mature new active and passive singlemode fiber optic and photonic components for next generation avionics networking applications. Low sales and manufacturing volumes inherent to avionics combined with lack of standard interface specifications for current and next generation fiber optic local area network architectures and subsystems makes it difficult for avionics suppliers to justify upfront research and development (R&D) investment in advanced fiber optics and photonics packaging technology.

“…Digital signal transmission optical module compared with the traditional copper transmission system, the weight is reduced to one-tenth of the original, the volume is reduced by one-fifth, the transmission rate is increased from the megabit level to the gigabit level, and the space radiation resistance reaches the ability to operate in high orbit. The application of spacecraft digital optical module can solve the small size and weight of the space vehicle signal transmission equipment design needs, improve the signal transmission rate, and effectively enhance the performance of space vehicle signal transmission, with great potential demand [3][4] .…”

According to the increasing demand for communication bandwidth for data exchange of space communication system, more and more customers use optical transceiver module products in space systems. Spacecraft work in the complex radiation environment of spaceflight, the radiation resistance of optoelectronic transceiver module products has high requirements, the development of optoelectronic transceiver module for spaceflight has been very urgent. In this paper, a quad transceiver parallel hermetically encapsulated optoelectronic transceiver module is designed, with a single channel rates up to 10.3125Gbps, a package size of 27mm × 25mm × 5mm, and a weight of 15g, which can meet the requirements of astronautical space environment applications.

“…Fibre-optic communication systems can meet all the above challenges of modern avionics applications in an efficient and cost-effective manner [1]. In fact, a number of optoelectronic components for airborne applications, capable of withstanding the adverse environmental conditions on-board an aircraft, have already been developed [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The goal of this paper is to develop optical network architectures, which are simple, reliable, lightweight and capable of broadband communications, and capable of carrying RF signals in aircrafts.…”

SUMMARYContinued progress in both civil and military radio-frequency (RF) digital avionics applications is overstressing the capabilities and reliability of existing RF communication networks based on coaxial cables on board modern aircrafts. Future avionics systems will require high-bandwidth on-board communication links that are lightweight, immune to electromagnetic interference, and highly reliable. Fibre-optic networks can meet all these challenges in a cost-effective manner. Recently, on-board fibreoptic communication systems, where a fibre-optic network acts like a local area network (LAN) for digital data communications, have become a topic of extensive research and development. However, modern digital avionics systems require a system capable of transporting microwave and millimeter-wave RF signals that carry digital data on board an aircraft. Such optical networks transporting RF signals are completely different from the digital fibre-optic communication systems.Recent advances in optoelectronics technology, including linear optoelectronic devices and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), have opened a number of possibilities for designing on-board fibre-optic networks, including all-optical networks for digital avionics RF signal communication. The objective of this paper is to present a number of optical network architectures for transmitting RF signals carrying digital data in an aircraft.In this paper, we investigate a number of different approaches, including all optical architectures, for building an optical network using fibre-optic transmission of on-board VHF and UHF RF signals. The relative merits and demerits of the network architectures are discussed, and the suitability of the architectures for particular applications is presented.
