Abstract

Since its inception, Sandia National Laboratories has developed and fielded a wide variety of components and systems for many challenging applications. Avionics-related optoelectronics R&D is a core capability of Sandia. This paper will review activity in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and photonic-integrated circuits (PICs) as applied to various applications including built-in fiber diagnostics, beam forming and RF data links
