Abstract
The paper demonstrates the transmission of variable
bit rates NRZ streams over different lengths of perfluorinated
graded-index plastic optical fiber GI-POF at wavelengths of 1550
and 1310 nm. Specifically, at λ = 1550 nm, 16, 14 and 12 Gbps
of NRZ transmissions are demonstrated for 50 m GI-POF. Furthermore,
at λ = 1310 nm, 10 and 8 Gbps NRZ transmissions are
demonstrated for distances of 50, 100 and 200 m. The performance
is evaluated for realized transmissions in terms of received bit-error
rate versus transmitted optical power and is compared to back to
back performance.
