“…These include, for example, Gigabit Ethernet [1] and radio-over-fiber (RoF) links for in-house transmission or wireless access systems [2]. Polymer optical fibers (POFs) [3] have recently gained importance as promising transmission media for future short and medium distance home networking to replace silica-based MMF, offering such advantages as great flexibility, easy handling, and higher resilience to mechanical bending. An advanced POF generation is the perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (PF-GIPOF), based on an amorphous perfluorinated polymer showing a lower power attenuation in the infrared (IR) range [4].…”

Abstract:In this paper, the characterization of a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (PF-GIPOF) for a high-bitrate indoor optical wireless system is reported. PF-GIPOF is used here to interconnect different optical wireless access points that distribute optical free-space high-bitrate wireless communication cells. The PF-GIPOF channel is first studied in terms of transmission attenuation and frequency response and, in a second step, the spatial power profile distribution at the fiber output is analyzed. Both character-izations are performed under varying restricted mode launch conditions, enabling us to assess the trans-mission channel performance subject to potential connectorization errors within an environment where the end users may intervene by themselves on the home network infrastructure.

“…Recently, short distance free‐space optical communication and polymer optical fiber (POF) communication toward Gigabit and multi‐Gigabit with wavelength in the visible range have received much attention. Short optical pulses with peak power of several milliwatts provide powerful tools to evaluate frequency characteristics of POF and response characteristics of ultrafast photodetector devices . In addition, it also can be used as an excitation light source for optical time‐domain reflectometers .…”

We present a simple ultrashort optical pulse generator based on step recovery diode, short‐circuited transmission line and relaxation oscillation effect suppression with reduced dc bias. Experimental results achieved a 80‐ps optical pulse with 655 nm AlGaInP laser diode (LD) and a 200‐ps optical pulse with 420‐nm GaN‐based LD. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In particular, a large core diameter (such as 0.5 mm or more) makes POF better transmitting media in LAN because there would be lots of junctions and connections in such short distance communications and a fine core of silica optical fibers will cause much difficulty and high cost when applications of them are made. However, all commercially available POF have been step index (SI) ones whose bandwidth of transmission is limited to about 5 MHz·km due to modal dispersion . The narrow bandwidth of SI POF has confined the use of POF only to light guides and illumination components so far.…”

Refractive Index Distribution of Graded Index Poly(methyl methacrylate) Preform Made by Interfacial-Gel Polymerization

1997

A graded index poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) preform has been made by a novel interfacial-gel polymerization procedure, in which polymerization was performed in a PMMA tube and a dopant, bromobenzene (BB), was used as a higher refractive index molecule. A detailed mechanism of the graded index formation is given and simulated according to the free volume theory and its application in a high-conversion polymerization system. Under the assumption that polymer concentration distributes in the form of ω ) a exp(r) + b at the radial direction of the tube, a quadratic distribution of refractive index on the cross section of the preform is obtained. The result is identical with experiments performed by the interfacial-gel polymerization.
