NASA Lewis together with John Carroll University has worked for the last several years to develop wavelength-multiplexed digital position transducers for use in aircraft control systems. A prototype rotary encoder is being built for a demonstration program involving the control of a commercial transport''s turbofan engine. This encoder has eight bits of resolution a 90 degree range and is powered by a single LED. A compact electro-optics module is being developed to withstand the extremely hostile gas turbine environment.
