RT Conference Proceedings T1 Visible WDM System Design for Multi-Gbit/s Transmission over SI-POF A1 Vázquez García, María Carmen A1 Pinzón Castillo, Plinio Jesús A1 Pérez Garcilópez, Antonia Isabel AB In order to increase the data rates of Multi-Gbit/s links based on large core step index (SI) plastic optical fibers (POF), different modulation scenes have been proposed. Another option is to use multiple optical carriers for parallel transmission of communication channels over the same fiber. Some designs to reach data rates of 14.77 Gb/s in 50 m, with 4 channels have been developed by off line processing. In this work, designs to test the potential of real Multi- Gbit/s transmission systems using commercial products are reported. Special care in designing low insertion loss multiplexers and demultiplexers is carried out to allow for greener solutions in terms of power consumption.
