Abstract
We investigate the bit-rate dependence of transmitted signal quality through a low-noise graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) in the consumer-friendly optical link without an optical isolator. By using the low-noise GI POF, the transmission quality is significantly improved compared with a silica GI multimode fiber for all the evaluated bit rates under the modulation conditions in this study. This improved transmission quality by the low-noise GI POF is related to reduced distortion of frequency response, which is caused by the self-coupled power reduction of the backreflected beam into the VCSEL cavity owing to strong mode coupling in the low-noise GI POF. This suggests that the low-noise GI POF allows for high-quality multilevel transmission for consumer-friendly 8K interface.
