Abstract

We introduce the concept of board-to-board optical interconnects within missile and munitions systems. These links can potentially the replace electrical routing between ICs and connectors with direct board-to-board optical interconnects. We discuss the use of 850 nm VCSEL-based transceivers within these aerospace and missile/munitions systems and present shock test data.
