Fiber Optics Data Bus System (Presents Current State of the Art in the Suitability of Fiber Optics for Multiterminal Data Communications).
Abstract
Progress is described towards realization of a multiterminal fiber optics data bus capable of handling the information flow requirements of a modern military aircraft. Major accomplishments include development of novel access couplers containing a glass block with an internal mirror, and sensitive optical receivers using a field-effect transistor to amplify the integrated current output from a silicon photodiode. A five-terminal, unidirectional data bus system designed for 5 Mb/s operation was successfully demonstrated.
