Microgolf-fotonica maakt communicatiesystemen in satellieten en vliegtuigen kleiner en lichter. Koninklijke NLR en LioniX International gaan samenwerken met Lockheed Martin aan nieuwe fotonica-oplossingen voor microgolfsystemen. Deze baanbrekende technologie versnelt en verbetert de veiligheid van communicatie.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koninklijk Nederlands Lucht- en Ruimtevaartcentrum (NLR) en LioniX International<\/a> kondigen met trots aan dat zij, in samenwerking met Lockheed Martin<\/a>, de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe microgolf-fotonica-oplossing ter ondersteuning van ruimte- en defensiemissies zullen starten. Deze samenwerking richt zich op de ontwikkeling van geavanceerde ge\u00efntegreerde microgolf-fotonica-chips, die aanzienlijke voordelen bieden op het gebied van bandbreedte en herconfigureerbaarheid in vergelijking met traditionele microgolftechnologie. NLR en LioniX hebben in het kader van het Industrial Participation Program<\/em> een aanbesteding van Lockheed Martin gewonnen. Dit is opnieuw een voorbeeld van de voortdurende samenwerking tussen Lockheed Martin en de Nederlandse industrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Het REMBRANDT-project markeert een belangrijke mijlpaal in de evolutie van microgolf-fotonica-chips (photonic integrated circuits<\/em> – PIC’s) met toepassingen in de ruimtevaart en defensie, waarmee Nederland haar leiderschap in deze opkomende technologie voortzet. Fotonica maakt gebruik van fotonen (of lichtdeeltjes) in plaats van elektronen in elektronische componenten. PIC’s zijn klein en effici\u00ebnt, waardoor optische en elektro-optische circuits in \u00e9\u00e9n chip kunnen worden ge\u00efntegreerd om het volume en gewicht verder te verminderen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De afbeelding toont een ‘hybride PIC-assemblage’die werkt als een 4\u00d71 single beam True-Time Delay-ontvanger op 17-21 GHz. De geassembleerde functionele module bestond uit printplaten (PCB’s), connectoren, een glasvezelarray, een InP-fotodiodearray, de LioniX Beamformer PIC, een InP-modulatorarray en een InP-fotodiode. Rood laserlicht wordt ge\u00efnjecteerd om de PIC visueel te inspecteren, terwijl het licht zich door de siliciumnitride-golfgeleiders voortplant (fotocredits: \u00a9 LioniX International).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“We zijn verheugd dat Lockheed Martin het transformatieve potentieel van fotonica-chips in ruimtevaart- en defensietoepassingen erkent”, aldus Arne Leinse, CEO van LioniX International. “Dit project onderstreept niet alleen het strategische belang van ge\u00efntegreerde fotonica, maar verstevigt tevens de leidende positie van het Nederlandse ecosysteem op dit gebied. Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat deze samenwerking met Lockheed Martin de weg zal vrijmaken voor toekomstige ambitieuze projecten.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dankzij de betrokkenheid van NLR beschikt het REMBRANDT-project over onge\u00ebvenaarde expertise op het gebied van lucht- en ruimtevaarttechnologie. NLR, met een bewezen staat van dienst in Europese samenwerking en innovatieve internationale projecten, speelt een cruciale rol bij het inpassen van deze nieuwe technologie in ruimtevaarttoepassingen. NLR zal betrokken zijn bij het bepalen van functionele en omgevingseisen en bij het uitvoeren van diverse verificatietesten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“De ervaring van NLR op het gebied van innovatie in de ruimte en de lucht- en ruimtevaart is essentieel om ervoor te zorgen dat deze opkomende technologie bestand is tegen de zware omgevingsomstandigheden, zoals lage temperaturen en vacu\u00fcm, en voldoet aan de strenge normen die vereist zijn voor veilige communicatie- en sensorsystemen”, aldus Jaco Verpoorte, Principal R&D Engineer bij NLR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockheed Martin loopt voorop bij het ontwikkelen van deze nieuwe technologie, in het kader van de ontwikkeling van een volgende generatie microgolfladingen en -systemen. “Deze geminiaturiseerde fotonica-technologie wordt een katalysator voor het verbeteren van de stand van de techniek op het gebied van microgolfsystemen voor de ruimtevaart en defensie”, aldus Stephen Robertson, Principal Scientist<\/em> en Fellow<\/em> bij Lockheed Martin. “De samenwerking met NLR en LioniX International in het REMBRANDT-project sluit aan bij onze visie op de toekomst van ruimte- en defensiemissies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Het REMBRANDT-project ontwikkelt fundamentele technologie\u00ebn ter ondersteuning van de volgende generatie communicatie- en sensorsystemen en benadrukt het belang van internationale samenwerking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
