The limits of plastic optical fiber for short distance high-speed computer data links

Abstract

The attenuation and dispersion of commercially available all-plastic step-index optical fiber are the major factors limiting the maximum achievable transmission distance and bit rate; this article explores these limits. Calculations predict that ～ 500 Mb/s transmission over 100 m of standard 0.47 NA step-index PMMA POF at 650 nm is feasible, and recent experimental results at up to 400 Mb/s are briefly described. The implications of having a lower loss, higher bandwidth POF, for example, perfluorinated, graded-index PMMA, arc discussed.

Polymer waveguide module for visible wavelength division multiplexing plastic optical fiber communication

We report a polymer waveguide module that provides bidirectional communication over a single plastic optical fiber (POF) with dual visible wavelength LEDs. The module is constructed using light-induced self-written waveguides, which enables a three-dimensional optical circuit for visible wavelength division multiplexing to be fabricated by an extremely simple process. We demonstrated 250 Mbits/s communication using a pair of these modules that each contained one green (lambda = 495 nm) and one red (lambda = 650 nm) LEDs by measuring the bit error rates. The results indicate that the system could transmit over more than 20 m of POF in full duplex mode.

Configurational-conformational statistics of stereoirregular poly(methyl methacrylate)s

The mean-square radius of gyration of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with Bemoullian statistics was theoretically investigated utilizing the method of periodic condition. The dependent curve of the characteristic ratio of mean-square end-to-end distance on periodic microstructure length increases monotonously with the length and goes gradually to its asymptotic value for atactic PMMA chains (P _m = 0.5). Conformational energies E _α ～1.3 kcal mol^?1 and E _β ～-0.6 kcal mol^?1 of the two-state scheme are acceptable, from which the derived meansquare end-to-end distance and mean-square radius of gyration conform to the experimental data. The ratio ?S²?/χ of atactic PMMA (P _m = 0.2) as a function of the degree of polymerization χ first increases with increasing chain length, then passes through a maximum at χ = 30, and finally decreases to its asymptotic value, which is in reasonable agreement with the experimental measurements reported elsewhere. The ratio ?S²?/χ as a function of stereochemical composition indicates that theoretical and experimental data are in accord for isotactic and atactic PMMA, but small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements are higher than the calculated values for syndiotactic PMMA.     

Assessment of a Wiener filter synthetic discriminant function for optical correlation

The Wiener filter (WF), which has been used extensively for image restoration and signal processing, is employed for robust optical pattern recognition and classification. The WF is formulated to incorporate the in-class image (to be detected) and the out-of-class noise image (to be rejected) into a single step filter construction. It is compared with the classical matched filter (CMF) and phase-only filter (POF), demonstrating a superior discriminatory capability. The WF is incorporated into a synthetic discriminant function (SDF); correlation results show that it is tolerant to image distortion. With a 30 ° out of plane rotation between training set images, the WF SDF achieves a 100% success rate in discriminating one class of images from another. The CMF SDF and POF SDF fail to achieve 100% discrimination even at rotation increments of 15 °.
