According to the increasing demand for communication bandwidth for data exchange of space communication system, more and more customers use optical transceiver module products in space systems. Spacecraft work in the complex radiation environment of spaceflight, the radiation resistance of optoelectronic transceiver module products has high requirements, the development of optoelectronic transceiver module for spaceflight has been very urgent. In this paper, a quad transceiver parallel hermetically encapsulated optoelectronic transceiver module is designed, with a single channel rates up to 10.3125Gbps, a package size of 27mm×25mm×5mm, and a weight of 15g, which can meet the requirements of astronautical space environment applications.
Compared with fiber optical current sensors, integrated optical current sensors (IOCS) replace optical fiber with integrated optical waveguide materials, which is suitable for further miniaturization, modularization and low cost of sensors and has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this study, the research progress of IOCS in the world is reported. The IOCS which are realized by the ways of faraday magnet-optic effect and thermal-optic effect are shown respectively. Simultaneously, the performance of IOCS based on different sensing units are compared and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Finally, the current challenge and future development trends of IOCS are summarized.
The engineering application number of fiber optic current sensor (FOCS) is decreasing year by year since 2012 in China due to its reliability problems. However, the researchers and related enterprises have also made some constructive attempts on the study of fault diagnosis of FOCS. In this paper, the application status and the common fault modes of FOCS are analyzed. Three ways to diagnosing the soft and hard fault of FOCS are reviewed, including based on analytical model, on signal processing and on knowledge. Finally, the research direction of FOCS fault diagnosing is prospected. It is concluded that the diversified and intelligent fault diagnosis method based on knowledge has more advantages compared with the other two methods. In addition, the development of FOCS for integrated optical path is of great help in improving its reliability and will be a research hotspot in the future.
The fiber optic current sensor (FOCS) is susceptible to external temperature in actual operation, which will lead to its accuracy deviation, even malfunction. In order to improve the temperature stability of FOCS’s ratio error, a temperature compensation method based on RBF neural network is established by taking the temperature as input and the ratio error as output to the network. Compared with BP neural network, the simulation results show that the temperature compensation model based on RBF neural network has better accuracy whose prediction error is less than 3%. At the same time, the experimental results show that the drift deviation of ratio error can remain as low as ±0.1% in the range of -40 °C to 70°C, and the 0.2S-level accuracy of GBT20840.8 standard can be achieved.
The fiber optic current transformer (FOCT) is affected by complex environment in actual operation which will lead performance deteriorate or even malfunction. This paper introduces the application status and common fault modes of FOCT, and a fault diagnosis algorithm of FOCT based on Wavelet-Allan variance is presented. Wavelet transform is used to identify the jump signal for the mutation fault diagnosis, and Allan variance analysis is used to analyze the noise distribution for the gradual fault diagnosis. By combining the two methods above, the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of FOCT can be realized without changing the structure of the original transformer or adding additional detection equipment. This method is proved to be effective and accurate by diagnosing faults from FOCTs in substation.
In this paper, an active ring-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer (arcMZI) for rotation sensing is proposed. Theoretical resolution formula of this arcMZI gyroscope was deduced by using of transfer matrix method and noise analysis model. The simulation result shows that the theoretical maximum sensitivity of arcMZI gyroscope can be enhanced at least two orders of magnitude compared with the single-bus resonator (SBR) gyroscope for the same footprint and effective loss after equivalent optimization. The arcMZI gyroscope could be of great potential to meet the tactical demands of future inertial navigation.

We propose and analyze a gyroscope using active three-dimensional vertically coupled resonators (3D-VCRs), which allows for loss compensation, unidirectional propagation, and a larger sensing area while maintaining the same bulk volume. For the ideal uniform case, the minimum detectable rotation rate ΔΩmin of the active 3D-VCR gyroscope can be decreased by above three orders of magnitude after optimization compared with the passive case. The minimal measurable rotation rates of the 3D-VCR gyroscope, the loss-compensated coupled resonator optical waveguide (LC-CROW) gyroscope, and the equivalent resonant waveguide optical gyroscope (RWOG) decrease with a higher number N of the resonators. Finally, it is shown that the uniform active 3D-VCR gyroscope has a better resolution ΔΩmin than the equivalent LC-CROW and RWOG.

Active coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) structure can significantly enhance the performance of optical gyroscope due to its loss compensation effect and highly dispersive properties. In this paper, we analyze the effect of optical gain and its induced noise, i.e. spontaneous emission noise, on the properties of the active CROWs. A thorough investigation of the impact of various disorder degrees on the performance of the active three dimensional vertically coupled resonators (3D-VCR) gyroscope has been performed. It shows how the disorder interacted with coupling coefficient affects the achievable resolution ΔΩmin of gyroscope, and the degree of disorder will supplant the propagation loss to become an ultimate limitation. Finally, it is shown that the active 3D-VCR gyroscope (the number of ring, N>6) has better resolution ΔΩmin than that of the equivalent resonant waveguide optical gyroscope (RWOG).
