IEEE Avionics, Fiber- Optics and Photonics Technology Conference 2009

IEEE Avionics, Fiber- Optics and Photonics Technology Conference 2009

The aerospace industry has made great strides in recent years deploying fiber optics and photonics technology on commercial and military platforms. This trend will continue to grow as avionics fiber optic system architectures, networking schemes, and components evolve and mature. In parallel with data and video transmission, photonics technology for analog/RF, flight control, free-space communication, and vehicle monitoring applications will have an increasing role in future aerospace platforms.
