Integrated RFoF Products Within the Defense Space

The future of defense is here. At Veluxsys, we believe RFoF technology has the potential to revolutionize tactical communications capabilities for high-speed, secure long-range communications. We are proud to unveil our RFoF module prototype that transmits and receives information over optical fiber using integrated photonics/digital RF technology to provide a faster method of data transmission for America’s defense forces.

By leveraging our expertise in single mode (SM) fiber and silicon photonics, we are creating a more efficient, lighter and more reliable alternative to existing defense communications solutions still relying on coax cable. Coax has the tendency to break easily, which causes major expenses and down-time in order to fix.

Our RFoF prototype is already functional and we are currently working on improving its power consumption capabilities as part of our goal to create a solution that uses less power than competing products. Specifically, we are actively pursuing Indian Phosphide (InP) as the most effective semiconductor option by which we can enhance the efficiency of our modulator.

The Need for the Veluxsys Single Mode RFoF Prototype

Many currently available RFoF systems are bulky, costly, not deployable into weight/space sensitive applications and cannot be easily retrofitted into existing equipment like jets and vehicles.

While many of these products claim to be RFoF systems, they tend to focus more on ruggedized data transceivers, which is only part of having a true RFoF SM model. As well, current RFoF systems rely on multi-mode (MM) fiber architectures, which lead to higher numbers of components being used in any given defense application.

As a result, true RFoF is best done over single-mode (SM) fiber optics where small devices can permit suppliers to make better use of space in their defense-related products. Veluxsys has the experience and drive to make this a reality.
