Abstract
The objective of this thesis research was the design and
implementation of an RS-232 compatible, bi-directional, full
duplex, fiber optic interface with provision for hardware
handshaking. Results show that active handshaking lines can
be successfully multiplexed, converted to light, transmitted,
received, reconverted and demultiplexed pleisiochronously for
data communications at 19.2 kilobaud. Use of wavelength
division multiplexing and optical duplexing enabled the
reduction of individual fiber optic lines required from four
uni-directional single frequency fibers to two bi-directional
fibers at three operating wavelengths.
