Some applications of plastic optical fiber technology in our country relative to also was not very rich, of course we HYG firms are also vigorously the development and research of the technology. On the transmission rate of loss is big also, Germany announced today they have successfully using high-tech technology will rate reached 25 GBPS.

    Georgia institute of technology experiment, is to use the VI Systems, a VCSEL, with 850 nm wavelength at 25 GBPS in 100 meters long plastic optical fiber transmission speed; General plastic optical fiber is usually applied to short transmission distance, with 650 nm wavelength, the rate of about 1 GBPS in home network, in the vehicle network rate is 50 megabits per second. VI Systems forecasting, above this kind of application of cost sensitive, can now will transfer rate increase to 40 ~ 100 GBPS.

    According to the Georgia institute of technology, said their transmission experiment is equipped with 80 microns of plastic optical fiber cables, using up to 35 micron loosely coupled tolerance, implements the zero error of transmission. VI Systems, said in a laboratory, when used together with the high speed detector and transimpedance amplifier, optical fiber transmission speed can reach 40 GBPS.

    Individual VCSEL can be assembled on naked crystal size 250 microns across, VI Systems can also provide special family or 1 x4 car network dedicated or 1 x12 array; Or provide fiber channel, such as Infiniband other high-speed applications. VI Systems, and said that the company expected the next transmission speed can reach 100 GBPS of performance.
