Intrinsically Stabilized Plastic Optical Fiber Link Subject to External Optical Feedback
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019 We develop a graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) that can significantly stabilize a multimode fiber (MMF) link with a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to external optical feedback.
