EMCORE Introduces New EMCORE-Hawkeye™ Series of Precision Single-Axis Fiber Optic Gyroscope Modules
2018年2月6日 - 7:55PM
EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ:EMKR), a leading provider of advanced
Mixed-Signal Optics products that provide the foundation for
today’s high-speed communication network infrastructures and
leading-edge defense systems, announced today the introduction of
the new EMCORE-HawkeyeTM series of precision, single-axis Fiber
Optic Gyroscope (FOG) modules. The new EMCORE-HawkeyeTM EG-120 and
EG-200 models will deliver the industry’s best Size, Weight and
Power (SWaP) compared to competing products.
The EMCORE-HawkeyeTM EG-120 FOG module is an ultra-compact,
state-of-the-art design that is the smallest, most affordable
closed-loop FOG available on the market today. It is approximately
1/2 the weight with 1/3 the power requirements of current
generation FOGs and is 35% smaller than EMCORE’s previous
generation EMP series FOGs. The EMCORE-HawkeyeTM EG-120
incorporates advanced, next-generation Field Programmable Gate
Array (FPGA) electronics that deliver increased performance and
reliability combined with low cost. The model EG-200 shares these
advanced electronics with the EG-120, but with even greater
performance capabilities compared to the EG-120 and the EMP
series.
The EMCORE-HawkeyeTM series features performance specifications
ideal for medium accuracy platform stabilization applications such
as camera systems used in aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
and gun stabilization systems. A wide variety of other guidance,
navigation and aeronautics applications are supported. The
differences between these new models provide customers with greater
flexibility to choose the performance level and form-factor that
best meets their application, and these are only the first models
to be announced. The EMCORE-HawkeyeTM FOG platform will allow even
greater selection of performance capabilities in the future to meet
a broad range of customer requirements.
“We saw a market need for an ultra-compact, more cost-effective
FOG than what is currently available on the market,” commented
David Faulkner, EMCORE’s Vice President and General Manager of
Aerospace & Defense. “Our new EMCORE-Hawkeye series delivers a
high level of performance and at the same time can be easily
customized to meet our customer’s needs. We are very pleased to
have received initial orders for both these products from key
customers for qualification into their systems,” added Mr.
Faulkner.
“EMCORE now develops all its key FOG components internally
including the next-generation, solid-state optical transceiver,
lithium-niobate modulator and FPGA electronics,” added Dr. KK Wong,
Sr. Director of Fiber Optic Gyro Products for EMCORE. “This allows
performance parameters to be more easily customized to specific
customer requirements at price levels equivalent to, or less than
that of lower-performance open-loop designs.”
EMCORE’s EG-120 has a typical in-run bias drift from 1-10 deg/hr
with Angle Random Walk (ARW) from 0.1 to 1 deg/rt-hr. The bias
drift of the EG-200 is <0.1 deg/hr with ARW of 0.01 deg/rt-hr.
Bias drift is an important measure of accuracy and precision of the
FOG, with lower bias models delivering higher performance overall.
EMCORE’s new EG-120 and EG-200 FOG modules combine advanced,
next-generation integrated optics and FPGA electronics to deliver
higher accuracy, lower noise, greater efficiency, improved drift
stability and higher linearity than competing units.
