Plastic optical fiber (POF) has been used for 30 years in specialized applications that require low data rates and cabling runs less than 100 meters long. But now, because of new developments, POF is ...

A multimode optical fiber in which the refractive index of the core declines from its highest value at the center of the core to a value at the edge of the core that equals the refractive index of the ...

This figure illustrates the result of distributed temperature sensing using a perfluorinated graded-index plastic optical fiber (POF). The top diagram shows the structure of the sensing POF, including ...

If you’re still looking for another alternative to fiber optics or copper wiring for high-speed networking, a new industry group has something for you. The group is called POF@ 10G, and its purpose is ...
