Recent Results From the EU POF-PLUS Project: Multi-Gigabit Transmission Over 1 mm Core Diameter Plastic Optical Fibers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Lightwave Technology, 2011
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 ...

LDPC-Coded OFDM for Heterogeneous Access Optical Networks

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2010
In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous optical access networking scenario, in which communication links between source and destination nodes are heterogeneous, composed of free-space optical, plastic optical fiber (POF), and indoor infrared (IR) links.
