An optical backplane developed to demonstrate the advantages of high-performance optical interconnections and supporting technologies and designed to be compatible with standard avionics racks is described. The hardware demonstrates the three basic components of optical interconnects: optical sources, an optical signal distribution network, and optical receivers. Results from characterization and environmental tests, including a demonstration of the reliable transmission of serial data at a 1 Gb/s, are reported.<>
