This book presents high-performance data transmission over plastic optical fibers (POF) using integrated optical receivers having good properties with multilevel modulation, i.e. a higher sensitivity and higher data rate transmission over a longer plastic optical fiber length. Integrated optical receivers and transmitters with high linearity are introduced for multilevel communication. For binary high-data rate transmission over plastic optical fibers, an innovative receiver containing an equalizer is described leading also to a high performance of a plastic optical fiber link. The cheap standard PMMA SI-POF (step-index plastic optical fiber) has the lowest bandwidth and the highest attenuation among multimode fibers. This small bandwidth limits the maximum data rate which can be transmitted through plastic optical fibers. To overcome the problem of the plastic optical fibers high transmission loss, very sensitive receivers must be used to increase the transmitted length over POF. The plastic optical fiber limited bandwidth problem can be decreased by using multilevel signaling like multilevel pulse amplitude modulation or by using an equalizer for binary data transmission.

Plastic or polymer optical fibers (POF) have emerging applications in communication systems. This chapter provides a general overview of the different types of POF existing at both a research and a commercial level. This chapter also discusses in detail the types of POF that are currently the most widely adopted for communications applications. Topics include material sets such as PMMA, step and graded indices POF, and the fiber’s properties including bend radius, mechanical performance, attenuation, and dispersion. POF link designs are considered, including sources and receivers, as well as link budget design considerations. Examples of commercially available products are discussed as well as speculation on future developments in the field.

Written by some of the best known POF experts from Germany, one of the leading countries in POF technology, this is the most comprehensive introduction and survey of POF data communication systems currently available. Half a decade after it was first published, this second edition has been completely revised and updated; it has doubled in size. It features recent experimental results, and more than 1000 figures, 600 references and numerous tables complete the text.
