“…SI POF has a larger core diameter, is more flexible than GOF, and is easy to handle [7]. Although the degradation of transmission rate caused by the increase in modal dispersion arising from the increase in core diameter has not been overcome, recent studies have shown that these disadvantages could be addressed indirectly by improving the transmission method, an approach that could realize an SI POF system capable of bit rates of over 1 Gbps [8][9][10][11][12]. On the other hand, studies of POF itself have also succeeded in overcoming this problem.…”

The future of plastic optical fiber

T he twentieth century, the so-called 'miraculous century of physics', has drastically changed our way of life. Th e advent of new physics, the relativity theory and the quantum theory, have dramatically enhanced technology, revolutionizing our vision of the universe. Today, people are in the midst of a new revolution, with our perspective of the world shifted by the concept of 'networks'. Twenty years after the development of low-attenuation single-mode (SM) silica glass optical fi ber (GOF) in the 1970s [1], the United States launched the Information Superhighway project. Th e establishment of a global fiber-optic network has allowed the distribution of a wide range of media content, providing immediate access to new information. Th e world has become much smaller, eliminating physical constraints and endowing people with the ability to connect with anyone at anytime, living anywhere around the world. Th e internet has not only made our life more interesting and livable, but has created new industries, given rise to new cultures, and infl uenced politics. Indeed, it has changed our way of life.However, there remains one final hurdle to achieving ubiquitous high-bandwidth connectivity: there is not yet a high-speed pipeline that connects users to the superhighway. In the 'last hundred meters' between the superhighway and users, especially in home and office local area networks (LANs), optical fi bers must be bent at many points when laid down along walls. However, SM GOF is designed with a small core of just 5-10 μm (Figure 1) so as to excite only one optical mode within the fiber, and is thus not capable of withstanding all the bends required in the last hundred meters. One solution that has been proposed is multi-mode (MM) GOF, which is designed with a larger core. However, the number of modes excited within MM GOF increases dramatically with enlargement of the core region, causing the transmission rate to decrease accordingly due to an increase in the diff erences of the arrival times for each mode (modal dispersion). The future of plastic optical fi berYasuhiro Koike 1,2 * and Makoto Asai 1,3 Keio University, JapanThe number of services providing large-volume information content, such as high-defi nition movies, continues to increase rapidly. Single-mode glass optical fi ber (SM GOF), which has been widely deployed in data trunk lines and pipelines connecting large cities and nations, has already become indispensable as an information transmission medium. However, SM GOF is mechanically weak and lacks sufficient bending ability. Moreover, as the core diameter is very small, just 10 μm, extremely precise techniques and expensive devices are required to connect fi bers to signal receiving devices. It is therefore diffi cult to lay SM GOF for very short reach networks, such as local area networks in buildings. These difficulties are recognized as the problem of the 'last hundred meters' for optical fi ber infrastructure. Plastic optical fi ber (POF) has a relatively large-diameter core and is fl exible enough ...

“…Although the transmission rate of SI POF is theoretically limited to several hundred megahertz over 100 m, transmission rates exceeding 1 Gbps have been achieved by adopting discrete multitone (DMT) modulation in networks using SI POF [8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…(2) which is obtained by Gloge [2], two numerical approaches for solving the time-dependent power flow Eq. (1) have been reported recently: implicit finite--difference method (Crank-Nicholson scheme) by Breyer et al [3] and explicit finite-difference method in the matrix form by Mateo et al [5]. In this work using Gloge's analytical solution of (2), we calculate the impulse response of the SI POF investigated earlier by Breyer et al [3] and compare our analytical results with their numerical results.…”

Calculation of the Impulse Response of Step-Index Plastic Optical Fibers Using the Time-Dependent Power Flow Equation

The analytical solution of the time-dependent power flow equation is employed to calculate impulse response in a step-index plastic optical fiber. Results are given at different fiber lengths and are shown to agree with those reported in the literature. Mode-dependent attenuation, modal dispersion and mode coupling in plastic optical fibers are known to affect fiber-optic power delivery, data transmission, and sensing systems.

“…While today's commercial systems operate at 125 Mbit/s over up to 100 m of SI-POF, next generation systems are expected to carry Gigabit Ethernet data over distances of up to 50 m. However, due to its 1-mm large core-diameter and numerical aperture (NA) of 0.5, the bandwidth of SI-POF is limited to less than 50 MHz × 100 m. This makes the possibility of Gigabit transmission over SI-POF seem unlikely. Nevertheless, several advanced modulation techniques have been proposed recently that make this step feasible [4,5]. Especially, by combining multi-carrier modulation with spectrally-efficient quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), the first demonstration of 1-Gbit/s transmission over 100 m of SI-POF was reported [4].…”
