Application of General Purpose Fiber Optic Data Links to Radiation Measurements

Noise in Fiber Optic Communication Links

The physics of noise in optical communication links is of great interest in the design of fiber optic communication systems. In this report the role of noise in optical communications, and how it can limit the performance of optical communications systems, will be examined. The origins of noise in the various optical and analog electronic components will be discussed, and a methodology for a “n...

Continuous Phase Modulation for High Speed Fiber-optic Links

T High-bandwidth Distributed Computing Parallel Fiber-optic Sci Links

he drive to include more and more processors and I/O devices in parallel processor complexes has created a need for box-to-box interconnection links capable of delivering bandwidth comparable to system backplanes. Point-to-point links overcome the speed and cost constraints of shared buses. However, copper-based point-to-point links can reliably carry high-speed data only a limited distance. Pa...
