Abstract

Plastic optical fibre (POF) is the most promising candidate for short-range high debit communication networks links in application scenarios, such as, for instance, industrial automation, automotive, in house networking, inside office buildings, airport terminals, hospitals. This paper describes a low cost bi-directional POF communication system using wavelength multiplexed LEDs (light emitting diode).
