چکیده مقاله Investigation of fiber optic performance in navigation and multiple wavelength division on plastic fiber optic technology (Wdm-Pof) in ship
This paper discusses the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) application over the Plastic OpticalFiber (POF) used for data and networks communications of selected equipments onboard a navy ship. Fourdifferent wavelengths are used to connect equipments throughout the ship for access by the user, namely; LANconnections, telephone line, CCTV video image and central video/audio entertainments network. Some networktopologies possible to be used are explained and improvised mesh topology is studied as possible architecture tobe used for this study. The equipments will be able to be controlled and monitored from three different controlcenters; the Bridge, the Machinery Control Room (MCR) and the Combat Information Centre (CIC) for safetyand security connection with redundancy feature, good performance and resilience connectivity. Someparameter such as output power and power losses in the networks were observed. The system promises anenhanced data transfer with the benefits of less overall ship’s weight and therefore will improve the speed andconsume less fuel for new and future ship design or ship embarking life extension program.
