Fiber Optic Sensors for Aerospace Applications
- Aerospace Standard
- AIR6258
- Reaffirmed
Scope
-
a
To define standard terminology used in describing fiber optic sensing systems and their performance.
-
b
To identify current interfaces used for fiber optic sensing systems.
-
c
To define environmental, reliability, and maintainability capabilities of fiber optic sensing system components.
-
d
To describe the fiber optic sensor and instrumentation technologies that forms the current state of the art.
-
e
To describe current and future unmet needs of the aerospace industry for measurements using fiber optic sensors.
Rationale
-
A critical and comprehensive comparison between specific optical sensor technologies, currently available, and corresponding non-optical sensing methods. This will assist aircraft component and subsystem designers to assess their suitability and potential for specific applications.
-
An appraisal of technology maturity levels and technology gaps.
-
Guidelines on the use and application of classes of fiber optic sensors are given including:
-
sensor and system compatibility (including fiber cable, connectors, interrogator, signal conditioning, network interface, and power requirements),
-
compatibility with aircraft systems,
-
standard forms of interrogation/interface,
-
proposed methods of standardization, and
-
qualification recommendations.

Issuing Committee
AS-3 Fiber Optics and Applied Photonics Committee
The SAE AS-3 Fiber Optics and Applied Photonics committee addresses all facets of fiber optics systems and applied photonics¿design, maintenance, and in-service experience. It provides definition and support, and assures standardized components and systems approaches for fiber optic data buses. This includes sensors, architecture, and requirements for advanced fiber and electro optic technologies. The group is comprised of four subcommittees dedicated to creating, preparing, and maintaining all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for fiber optics and applied photonics systems. These subcommittees include:
AS-3A Fiber Optic Applications AS-3B Fiber Optic Supportability AS-3C Fiber Optic Components AS-3D Fiber Optic Process Definition Participants in the SAE AS-3 committee include OEMs, suppliers, aircraft fiber optics and applied photonics systems companies, consulting firms, government and others across the aerospace and defense industries.Reference
