KVH Inertial Sensor Integrates Photonic Chip Technology

摘要

KVH Industries has launched the P-1775 inertial measurement unit (IMU) featuring KVH's new PIC Inside photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology. PIC Inside is designed to enhance inertial sensor performance and reliability for the growing autonomous market. KVH has been developing and testing the technology for more than three years and is now incorporating it into existing product lines. The first units have started shipping. One of the first customers has integrated the P-1775 IMU into its next-generation rocket launch vehicle. KVH's PIC Inside technology features an integrated planar optical chip that replaces individual fiberoptic components to simplify production while maintaining or improving accuracy and performance.
