چکیده
Plastic Optical Fiber Perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (GI-POFs) combine high data transmission rates and low attenuation in the commercially desirable 850–1300nm range. GI-POFs offer a direct replacement and a low cost alternative to traditional glass. With ease of use and affordability, GI-POFs make an excellent choice for the installation of high performance fiber networks. In addition, GI-POFs provide a higher transmission bandwidth than any other type of plastic optical fiber.

Graded-Index Plastic Optical Fiber with High Mechanical Properties Enabling Easy Network Installations. I
A doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)– based graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) with high mechanical strength is reported for the first time. Although the POF is generally believed to have a good mechanical flexibility even if it has a large-core diameter, such a high mechanical strength has been provided by making the polymer chains in the POF highly oriented in its axial direction...
متن کاملGraded-Index Plastic Optical Fiber with High Mechanical Properties Enabling Easy Network Installations. II
It was shown how high mechanical strength should be provided in the high numerical aperture (NA) graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF). In this newly developed GI POF, a copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (3FMA) was used to increase the NA. The GI POF we proposed previously was composed of a PMMA homopolymer cladding and a doped PMMA core. It was ...
متن کاملStrain and temperature sensing based on multimode interference in partially chlorinated polymer optical fibers
We develop strain and temperature sensors based on multimode interference in a partially chlorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (PCGI-POF) and experimentally investigate their sensing performance at room temperature using incident light of ∼1300 nm wavelength. The length of the PCGI-POF was 0.7m. The measured strain and temperature sensitivities were −4.47 pm/με and +9.66 nm/°C/m, respe...
متن کاملInstabilities in the Fabrication of Polymer Optical Fibers
Polymer optical fibers (POFs) have drawn interest as high-bandwidth (or high-speed) data-transmission media for short distance communications as in local area networks or home networks. In spite of their higher attenuation (or loss of optical power) than glass optical fibers (GOFs), POFs are perceived to be more suitable for these applications due to their flexibility and durability. These prop...
متن کاملBrillouin Scattering in Polymer Optical Fibers: Fundamental Properties and Potential Use in Sensors
We review the fundamental properties of Brillouin scattering in a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (PFGI-POF) with 120 m core diameter. The experiments were performed at 1.55 m telecommunication wavelength. The Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) and the Brillouin bandwidth were 2.83 GHz and 105 MHz, respectively. The Brillouin gain coefficient was calculated to be 3.09 × 10 −11 ...
