Proposal of isolator-free optical interconnect using low-noise graded-index plastic optical fiber for pluggable 4K/8K optical interface

摘要

We demonstrate that error-free data transmission can be easily obtained without optical isolators and/or precise fiber alignments by using a low-noise graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) with microscopic core heterogeneities. The novel GI POF is paving the way for consumer-friendly 4K/8K optical interface.
