MH GoPower: Power Over Fibre Platform (PoFP) Series
MH GoPower (MHGP) manufactures high performance Si-based Vertical Multi-Junction PV cells that enable laser power transmission for power over fiber (PoF).
Power over Fiber (PoF) technology
How it works
The Power over Fiber (PoF) technology is a novel power delivery system which delivers electrical power by sending laser light through lightweight, non-conductive fiber optic cable to a remote photovoltaic receiver or photovoltaic power converter to power remote sensors or electrical devices.
A known disadvantage of OTDR’s is the presence of a deadzone in which the interrogator is momentarily blind to measuring reflected energy. This deadzone manifests itself in a relatively high spatial resolution. Spatial resolution is the ability to detect closely spaced events along the length of a fiber network. Deadzones are typically in the order of meters and this makes OTDR unsuitable for applications where low spatial resolution or high accuracy is required.
Benefits of Power over Fiber
- No EMI emissions
- Impervious to adverse conditions, such as temperature extremes, and moisture
- Immune to crosstalk, EMI, RFI, electric & magnetic fields and lightning
- Eliminate possibility of explosion or leak
- Optical fiber solution is lighter than copper wires
Applications of Power over Fiber
- Medical devices: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Wireless Communications: Powering transceivers and antenna amplifiers (GPS, cellular base stations, copper to fiber transformation, etc.)
- Industrial Sensors: Test & Measurement and remote sensing
- Smart Grid: Current sensing in high-voltage installations (optical transducer)
- Aerospace: Critical applications (fuel tanks, cabin door interlocks)
- Defence: Actuators, gauges, sensors, communication devices, etc.)
