| PROJECT: | Paving the way for high capacity POF based communication systems | |||||
| ACRONYM: | HiPOF | |||||
| MAIN OBJECTIVE: | Plastic optical fibers (POFs) are pointed out as the most adequate solution for the main stream of modern home/building networking
applications [21]. In fact, because of their higher strength, when compared to silica fibers, the installation costs would reduce substantially. However, in order to POF become a real solution for high capacity home installations, two main challenges have yet to be solved: 1) optimization of the splicing between POF fibers and also between POF and silica fibers for connection to the receivers and emitters; 2) increase the data rate capacity. The global aim of this proposal is to develop strategies to improve the performance of POF based communication systems. The main objectives are as follows: - To design and develop a state-of-the art POF splicing setup using LISW. - Develop new components based on POF for high capacity POF communication systems. -To identify the conditions in terms of bending and high power signals leading to the degradation of POF. |
