Research abstract
This proposal describes a Phase I effort in an overall program to implement optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) within multi-Gbps multimode fiber optic transceivers. The end goal is to develop transceivers capable of detecting and isolating fiber faults along the cable plant in a military environment. This Phase I effort will investigate a solution that integrates the OTDR functionality into the transceiver IC so that the overall optical subassembly and module physical envelope are not impacted. This solution requires a mechanism for detecting back-reflected light from the fiber. We will work with our STTR institutional partner, Sandia National Labs, to investigate devices for this detection mechanism. We anticipate a 7 month performance period for the technical portion of this investigation. There will be a mid-term "User's Workshop" to present this concept and gain feedback from major avionic military system integrators.
