Abstract :
The dependence of the -3 dB bandwidth of an all-plastic optical fibre (APF) on the launching conditions was measured using the time domain method with a visible-light laser diode as the light source. The launch optics and detector appropriate to APFs were examined. The bandwidth was observed to have a large dependence on the launching conditions.
