Mesh architectures typically refer to a graph topology whose node degree is greater than one providing multiple connection paths between nodes. We establish the versatility of these devices in less than optimal mixed signal DWDM network configurations using four wavelengths with one dedicated wavelength as a QAM or analog channel and the other three for digital signals. The DWDM mesh architecture LAN based around BADM device lends itself well to avionics.","PeriodicalId":339133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference Avionics Fiber-Optics and Photonics, 2005.","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130018234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, it is protocol independent, scalable, and takes advantage of the rapid growth in commercial optical technologies. The technique of carrying many wavelengths simultaneously, known in telecommunications as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), when applied to military platforms such as aircraft, ships, unmanned and other vehicles, provides a cost effective, low weight, high speed, and high noise immune data distribution system.","PeriodicalId":339133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference Avionics Fiber-Optics and Photonics, 2005.","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126601332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OFS Specialty Photonics Division (OFS) has supplied FlightGuide/sup /spl trade// optical fiber cable for military and commercial aircraft for over 20 years. FlightGuide/sup /spl trade// cable has performed successfully for many U.S. military avionic systems including the F-16, F/A-22, Blackhawk (and former Comanche) helicopter, and Rockwell Collins HF9000 radio systems. The current FlightGuide/sup /spl trade// cable design with a 100/140 /spl mu/m graded-index fiber has an operating temperature range of-55/spl deg/C to +165/spl deg/C. This design has been modified to operate at an expanded temperature range of -100/spl deg/C to +200/spl deg/C. Data from an EDX analysis is presented to show that no silicone residue is left on the polyimide coating after mechanical stripping of the silicone along with attenuation data over the temperature range from -65/spl deg/C to +170/spl deg/C. A plan to further improve this design by providing a hermetic carbon coating on the optical fiber is discussed.","PeriodicalId":339133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference Avionics Fiber-Optics and Photonics, 2005.","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117041351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Size and weight are critical because fiber to the home requires splicing in hard-to-reach places. The marketplace now has several brands of micro fusion splicers. Some of these splicers include features previously found only in their larger more expensive counterparts. Although these splicers do not completely address the space constraints and environmental conditions for this particular application, they do provide a world-proven, highly reliable baseline from which to start.
