Monolithic WDM Technology for Integrated Vehicle/Mission Management Systems

Optoelectronic technologies make it possible to construct systems that are tolerant to the unique threats of aerospace environments. The goal of this proposed Phase II effort is to develop, fabricate, and demonstrate OptiComp Corporation's (OCC) WDM optoelectronic transmitter and receiver technologies for connection sensors with the vehicle and mission management computer systems. Working with Boeing Phantom Works, OCC will develop system level specifications, as well as a multistage technology transition plan. This transition plan is aimed at the integration of OptiComp Corporation's WDM VCSEL and detector technology in the near term. At later stages, OCC's powerful WDM optoelectronic modules and distributed switching architecture technologies will be incorporated into fieldable systems providing customers with real benefits such as low power consumption, EMI cross-section, size, weight and cost.
