Real-time gigabit DMT transmission over plastic optical fibre

摘要

For the first time, a real-time 1.25 Gbit/s discrete multitone (DMT) transmitter implemented in a field-programmable gate array is demonstrated for use in low-cost, standard 1 mm step-index plastic optical fibre applications based on a commercial resonant-cavity LED and a large-diameter Si-photodiode.
