Versatile, High-Resolution Reflectometry Module for Short Distances Navy SBIR FY2011.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2011.2 Topic No.: N112-117 Topic Title: Versatile, High-Resolution Reflectometry Module for Short Distances Proposal No.: N112-117-0706 Firm: Freedom Photonics LLC 90 Arnold Place Suite D Santa Barbara, California 93117 Contact: Leif Johansson Phone: (805) 277-3031 Web Site: www.freedomphotonics.com Abstract: We propose to develop a reflectometer, leveraging our existing tunable transceiver technology at the core, both as a standalone product and also as an added capability that can be incorporated into transceiver modules. The development of a full design for the tunable, high-power, low phase noise laser for stable optical sources for high performance atom sensing applications is ideal for the next generation of terrestrial optical networks. Benefits: The built-in-test capability inherent to our proposed reflectometer technology will allow for sophisticated health and performance monitoring inside an optical network. This technology is suited for avionic networks and other laser-swept implementation in sending and medical imaging for structure health monitoring and for optical coherence tomography. Return
