Experimental Assessment of the Transmission Performance of Step Index Polymer Optical Fibers Using a Green Laser Diode

Large-core polymer optical fiber (POF) links have limitations in capacity and reach due to the fibers’ high modal dispersion and attenuation. Most of these links use red laser diodes, even though the attenuation spectrum of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), the basic polymer used to manufacture thes...
