Biquid Filter Based Equalization Through Plastic Optical Fiber
Abstract: Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is increasingly recognized for its advantages in high-speed data transmission, particularly over short distances. Unlike traditional glass optical fiber, POF uses a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) core with a fluorinated polymer cladding, resulting in a larger core diameter that simplifies alignment and splicing. Recent advancements include the development of graded-index POF (GI-POF), where the core's refractive index gradually decreases from the center outward, minimizing modal dispersion and …
