Applications assessment studies and a preliminary cost-benefit analysis are performed which indicate areas of definite performance gains and cost savings from use of fiber-optic and integrated-optical-circuit (IOC) technologies, particularly in avionics systems. Progress in fiber optics, which has made possible the use of conventional off-the-shelf components in proposed systems with immediate applications, is shown. Progress is also shown in IOC technology, particularly in modulators for use in proposed high-bandwidth systems. Several unique IOC devices are investigated which promise to have the capability to use extremely-wide-bandwidth optical waveguides. (Author)
