RT Journal Article T1 Power-over-fiber in a 10 km long multicore fiber link within a 5G fronthaul scenario A1 López Cardona, Juan Dayron A1 Rommel, Simon A1 Grivas, Evangelos A1 Sánchez Montero, David Ricardo A1 Dubov, Mykhaylo A1 Kritharidis, Dimitrios A1 Tafur Monroy, Ildefonso A1 Vázquez García, María Carmen AB We evaluate the impact of Power-over-Fiber (PoF) technology on the fronthaul of a 5G-NR network with an Analog-Radio-over-Fiber at 25.5 GHz on a 10 km long multicore fiber. The study in this Letter analyzes the bit error rate (BER) performance for different levels of energy transmitted by the PoF system. 133 mW of maximum optical power at reception is demonstrated showing negligible BER impact or data transmission BER improvement in a dedicated and shared scenario.
