Description
To meet NASArsquo;s NTP objectives for spaceflight missions, IFOS proposes Reactor*Sensetrade; as a rugged, miniaturized, multi-function, and multiplexable high-temperature sapphire optical fibers (SOF)-based Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system. The system will be designed for the extreme operating environments with Phase I design for 1,800deg;C and Phase II design for ~ 2,800deg;C. The use of Raman sensing also enables growth provisions to add spectroscopic measurements of species. Reactor*Sensetrade; has a miniaturized photonic integrated interrogator that will be placed remotely in cooler regions (lt; 200deg;C). The Reactor*Sensetrade; photonic, ultra-high-speed signal processing uses IFOS#39; massively-parallel Photonic Spectral Processing (PSP) in Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) architecture, eliminating conventional speed bottlenecks and providing breakthrough system miniaturization for spaceflight missions.
