EOSPACE proposes to develop a widely applicable supporting optical circuit in micro-optics that will provide bidirectional optical monitoring using dual photodetectors. The final circuit will be capable of surviving shock, vibration, and thermal excursions typical of aircraft or missile flight.
Benefit: A bidirectional optical circuit will provide monitoring and measurement capability of light for Interferometric Fiber-Optic Gyro (IFOG) applications. In addition, this development will find use in data processing systems, RF photonic systems, and security and safety control systems in both military and civilian use.
