Abstract
Recent activity to achieve multi-gigabit transmission over 1 mm core diameter
graded-index and step-index plastic optical fibers for distances up to 50 meters is
reported in this paper. By employing a simple intensity-modulated direct-detection
system with pulse amplitude or digital multi-tone modulation techniques, low-cost
transceivers and easy to install large-core POFs, it is demonstrated that multi-gigabit
transmission up to 10 Gbit/s over 1-mm core diameter POF infrastructure is feasible. The
results presented in this paper were obtained in the EU FP7 POF-PLUS project, which
focused on applications in different scenarios, such as in next-generation in-building
residential networks and in datacom applications.
