BIDIRECTIONAL SINGLE FIBER LOW-COST OPTOELECTRONIC INTERCONNECT FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS

This paper addresses the use of fiber optics as a low-cost alternative to traditional copper-wire harnesses that are used in automotive applications. A bidirectional, alignment-tolerant optoelectronic interconnect is presented. The design of the system incorporates plastic fiber optics, optoelectronic devices, and digital control circuitry.
