| Summary: | International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 24-27, 1983 / Sheraton-Harbor Island Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California === A brief description is presented on a current application of fiber optic technology to
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) design. Significant advantage is realized in terms of
weight and space, EMI immunity, high bandwidth, and long length transmission capability.
Current design practice utilized a standard graded index 50/125 micron
telecommunications fiber “ruggedized” with a composite armor. On-going development
seeks to make this cable element small and expendable while preserving the high
bandwidth and low loss nature of the fiber. To free the system designer from mechanical
considerations, the cable is pre-spooled and carried and deployed by the vehicle.
Three dedicated communications channels are proposed on the single fiber by utilizing
optical wavelength multiplexing. |
