Abstract :
A novel WDM-POF technology, a cost-effective and eco-friendly optical data transmission unit is the most updated and promising innovation that will revolutionize interior automotive infotainment system which all data can be simply sent in visible light format rather than in electrical format at high speed data transmission. Infotainment system is such all-in-one entertainment media system and the latest trend in automotive network in which many appliances such as interactive gaming console, video player, ethernet navigator, camera reverse sensor and many other appliances can be integrated and equipped in car interior in ring topology. With novel WDM-POF technology, all data such can be processed with environment-friendly LED conversion and low-cost multiplexing and filtering method besides the fact that it can extend the number of appliances in car interior. This invention enables simple POF cabling system for delivering each optical data such as video, audio, Ethernet as POF is the most updated cabling technology replacing conventional copper wire for short-haul communication.
