Optical performance checks for Fibre Optic Rotary Joints

For applications where high-speed data must pass reliably across a rotating interface, digital communication performance is what the user sees, but it is only part of the story.

In this article, Dr Ben Murphy takes a closer look at testing the underlying optical performance of Fibre Optic Rotary Joints, or FORJs.

As well as understanding what is tested, it is also important to consider how those measurements are carried out.

Aligning measurement processes and techniques between the different organisations involved throughout the product lifecycle plays a major role in helping fleet products and systems remain operational and reliable.
