Application areas of POF

Use of standard SI-POF:AutomationAutomation: change from field bus applications to Fast EthernetCar networksCar networks: higher speed required (from 25 Mbit/s - 150 Mbit/s - 1000 Mbit/s ?); passive star networks for Flexray ?Home networksHome networks: Gigabit Ethernet required, optical interface standardInterconnectionInterconnection: multi channel parallel transmission, speeds up to 10 Gbit/s, low power consumption

possible directions

use of connector less installation in the use of connector less installation in the apartment by the customer (fiber spec is apartment by the customer (fiber spec is the connector spec)the connector spec)use of standard connector in (structured) use of standard connector in (structured) building networksbuilding networksdifferent connectors for GOF and POF ! different connectors for GOF and POF ! --make is impossible to connect the wrong make is impossible to connect the wrong cable; profit from the more relaxed cable; profit from the more relaxed tolerances; create an individual POF tolerances; create an individual POF image (image (see RJ45 is Ethernetsee RJ45 is Ethernet))

Example II: Fibers

Decision in 2008: A4a.2

but what about A4b .. A4h ?GI-POF: what diameter, NA ?MC-POF: how many single cores, NA, diameter, loss ?PF-GI-POF: 50 µm, 62½ µm, 80 µm, 120 µm, 200 µm ? present bandwidth specification is 1880 - 5000 MHz · 100mPF-GI-POF: Mode mixing is important for the bandwidth: spec of coupling length ?t.b.c.

Identification of POF type:- by color, colored dots or rings- by printed code- by different jacket diameter

Example IV: measurement

we have a standard for attenuation measurements on the A4a.2 fiber

we are still missing:standard for fiber bandwidthstandard for connector loss (e.g. OTDR)loss measurements on A4d, A4emode mixers for A4d, A4e and PCSspecification of optical properties for modulated signals (e.g. eye diagram mask with standard equalizer)…

Typical SI-POF bandwidth is 40 MHzbut: Bandwidth of a Cat 6 cable is 3 MHz1 Gbit/s over 100 m POF have been realized with:

passive equalizing (POF-AC)OFDM (Siemens)DFE/FFE filter (TU Munich/Siemens)

there is still place for improvements (e.g.integrated receivers)

POF-SC: the POF Simulation Centerstarted in Jan. 2009 in Nürnberginternational speaker: Prof. Bunge (Telekom University Leipzig)Goal: coordination of all European POF simulation activitiescreate basic data for standardsrunning project: physical model for connector lossesready: simulation of Gbps links with NRZ, DMT and FFE/DFEsee Juri’s presentation at the POF-Day

Example POF connector loss

θmax1 θmax2

connector loss in theory:Solid angle for input fiber: θmax1

2⋅πSolid angle for output fiber: θmax2

2⋅πAttenuation: α = 10 ⋅ log (Ω1/Ω2)

= 10 ⋅ log (θmax12/θmax2

2)Expressed by NA: α = 10 ⋅ log (AN1

but: how is the loss under EMD conditions ?approach: statistical model for light distribution
