Abstract
The authors give an overview of experimental results on 10.7 Gb/s over
large-core 1 mm polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) polymer optical fiber (POF).
The comparison starts with simple non-return-to-zero (NRZ) transmission without
equalization. Next, measurement results with feed-forward-, decision -feedback
equalization (FFE, DFE) and maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE)
are presented. Finally, experimental results with more advanced modulation
schemes like pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and discrete multitone (DMT)
modulation are investigated. The experiments were carried out with a Vertical-Cavity
Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) at 0 dBm to comply with consumer eye-safety
regulation or with a 10 mW laser diode (LD) that could be used in active optical
cables.
