| Abstract: |
We will address the requirement for fault identification and isolation in fiber optic data links by incorporating an optical time domain reflectance (OTDR) functionality into the transceiver module. Our approach is to monolithically integrate a high speed photodetector that will sense reflections from discontinuities in the optical channel, with the 850nm VCSEL which transmits the signal. |
| Benefits: |
Mytek anticipate offering the integrated VCSEL/photodetector as a component to transceiver manufacturers incorporating this functionality into their products. We will license whatever supporting technology is required. We also anticipate benefits of the integration for optoelectronic components for sensor products. |
