Fiber Optic Sonobuoy Cable Development FY77. Electro-Optical Components for Data Transfer between Deep Submerged Acoustic Sensors and Surface Buoys.

Abstract

This document provides a summary of fiber optics sonobuoy development in FY 77. An improved sonobuoy cable was fabricated; techniques for producing long, high-strength optical fibers were developed; means of providing duplex communication over the same fiber were explored; and commercially-available optical sources and receivers were surveyed and analyzed.
