Abstract
This paper presents a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) in-home optical network
infrastructure based on 1-mm core diameter plastic optical fiber (POF). By employing
passive POF splitters, converged broadband wired and wireless service transmission over
a P2MP POF infrastructure is demonstrated. A gross 2.2 Gb/s fractional discrete
multitone (DMT) and a 528-MHz ultra wideband (UWB) wireless signal distribution
simultaneously to four end-users are successfully achieved with BER <10-3
and EVM <15.5%, respectively. Up to 50 m transmission distance is achieved
using off-the-shelf optical components. This feasibility study on all-optical P2MP
infrastructures presents a promising low-cost solution for high-speed in-home broadband
communication.
