Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Module used to provide High Resolution between Short Distance Connections Navy SBIR FY2011.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2011.2 Topic No.: N112-117 Topic Title: Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Module used to provide High Resolution between Short Distance Connections Proposal No.: N112-117-0520 Firm: Ultra Communications Inc 990 Park Center Drive, Suite H Vista, California 92081 Contact: Charlie Kuznia Phone: (760) 652-0007 Abstract: This program develops high resolution optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) equipment for measuring fiber cable within installations having numerous short spans of fibers. This situation occurs within military aircraft and shipboard systems, which have fiber cable spans from board-to-board, within electronics boxes and from box-to-box. This technology will leverage a recently developed 2 cm resolution OTDR chipset designed for modular implementation. The modular approach allows for use with a variety of optical technologies, including 850 nm VCSEL-based, 1310 nm and C-Band (WDM) wavelengths. Benefits: Increased availability of airborne and shipboard weapons systems due to highly accurate (2 cm)and rapid diagnostics of fiber optic plant. Return
