    Abstract: A process for polishing the end face of a gigabit plastic optical fiber (GbPOF) to produce a mirror smooth surface without any defect. Smooth GbPOF end faces reduce the optical coupling loss when two plastic optical fibers are connected. The polishing process can be used to produce GbPOF end faces which are free of defects such as scratches. The polishing process involves the use of successive abrasive films having decreasing surface roughness to abrade the end of a GbPOF. More specifically, each subsequently applied abrasive film has a mean particle size which is less than the mean particle size of the previously applied abrasive film.

    Abstract: An apparatus configured to function as a pluggable single-wavelength bidirectional transceiver in a switching network. The apparatus includes: a 2×1 fusion coupler; an input/output optical fiber, a detector optical subassembly (OSA) fiber and a laser OSA fiber all connected to the 2×1 fusion coupler; and a transceiver that includes a transceiver electronic circuit printed wiring board (PWB) and laser and detector OSAs electrically coupled to the transceiver electronic circuit PWB. The laser OSA includes a laser that is situated to transmit light to the laser OSA fiber, while the detector OSA includes a photodetector that is situated to receive light from the detector OSA fiber. The transceiver electronic circuit PWB also includes a multiplicity of transceiver input/output metal contacts arranged at one pluggable end of the PWB.

    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are disclosed for a ruggedized photonic crystal (PC) sensor packaging. In particular, the present disclosure teaches a ruggedized packaging for a photonic crystal sensor that includes of a hermetic-seal high-temperature jacket and a ferrule that eliminate the exposure of the optical fiber as well as the critical part of the photonic crystal sensor to harsh environments. The disclosed packaging methods enable photonic crystal based sensors to operate in challenging environments where adverse environmental conditions, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), corrosive fluids, large temperature variations, and strong mechanical vibrations, currently exclude the use of traditional sensor technologies.

    Abstract: An airplane fuel level optical sensor using one side-emitting plastic optical fiber (SPOF) and two fluorescent plastic optical fibers (FPOFs) to detect the airplane fuel level without using any electrically conductive component or element placed inside the fuel tank. This dual-FPOF sensor is capable of achieving high resolution and high accuracy with a one-time calibration in the actual airplane's fuel tank environment. One embodiment of the dual-FPOF sensor uses one SPOF and two FPOFs to detect fuel level change based on the optical signal output from the two FPOFs. The sensor design uses large-diameter (core and cladding), lightweight, low-cost and high-durability plastic optical fiber, which is very desirable for airplane installation.

    Abstract: Systems and methods that use an optical impedance sensor that eliminates electricity for measuring fuel quantity in fuel tanks. The optical impedance sensor comprises two optical fibers spaced apart inside a meniscus tube, one to transmit light along its length and the other to receive light along its length. The meniscus tube minimizes the sloshing of fuel level. The fuel level in the tank modulates the optical impedance between the two optical fibers, resulting in changes in the total light received by an optical detector. Depending on fuel tank height, the optical impedance sensor may comprise different embodiments in which the detection apparatus shapes the light to be unidirectional (emitted and collected only on one side of the fiber) or omnidirectional (all directions).
