Abstract

Polymer optical fibers (POFs) are being considered as important high-speed communication media in the area of local area networks, datalinks and optical sensors. Large core diameter (500~1000 $\mu$m) and large numerical aperture (0.2~0.9) in a POF allow easy processing and connectorization, low cost high efficiency of beam coupling from LDs or LEDs, and complete immunity to EMI/EMR. There are many reports about 2.5 Gbps transmission the polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) graded index (GI) POF over a distance of 100 m. (omitted)
