Abstract :
We discuss the performance modeling of transmissive star couplers based on plastic optical fibers which are designed for avionics system applications. Simulation is based on a commercial software tool where the concept of supermodes is introduced. Results are validated using an analysis which expands on prior work based on multimode couplers in polymers.
