NASA-Langley and the USAF Rome Air Development Center have been pursuing the development of military- and space-qualified fiber optic transceivers for a variety of ground-based, space-based, and general avionic applications. An initial development pursued a design called the multipurpose fiber optic transceiver (MFOX) and provided a family of fiber optic transceivers which operated up to 1 Gb/s. Currently, a second generation of high-speed fiber optic transceivers (HSFOX) is being developed. This design will utilize an all-integrated-circuits approach in order to develop a lighter-weight, smaller-size, and more efficient transceiver. The high-speed fiber optic transceiver will be military-and-space-operating in the 0.05-5 Gb/s data rate range. The initial results of tests, performance, and availability of commercial high-speed all-integrated-circuit chipsets for fiber-optic transceivers are discussed, as well as the performance of transceivers fabricated from these chipsets.
