| Abstract: |
Leveraging on our extensive production experience on fiber optical connector, AGILTRON proposes to develop a manufacturable fiber optical connector technology with ultra low insertion losses and low reflection that has not been attainable before. Phase I will perform extensive design and modeling. We will perform full connector and associated fabrication design which considers ease in manufacture and high reliability under shock and vibration environments (MIL-SPEC-810). The performance goal is to achieve low optical loss < 0.05 dB for mating and <1.0 dB for long term. Several samples of the new connectors will be delivered to NAVY Phase I. |
| Benefits: |
The proposed next generation fiber connectors have direct applications in existing commercial optical communication net work and all fiber related application. The success of these low loss fiber connectors will produce significant benefit for optical communication system design, fiber sensor system and all fiber related systems.
Besides, the high power fiber lasers also have wide military applications such as Millimeter Radio Frequency (RF) applications. |
