PF-GIPOF is used here to interconnect different optical wireless access points that distribute optical free-space high-bitrate wireless communication cells. The PF-GIPOF channel is first studied in terms of transmission attenuation and frequency response and, in a second step, the spatial power profile distribution at the fiber output is analyzed. Both characterizations are performed under varying restricted mode launch conditions, enabling us to assess the transmission channel performance subject to potential connectorization errors within an environment where the end users may intervene by themselves on the home network infrastructure.8application/pdfeng© 2015 Optical Society of AmericaHigh-bandwidthpolymer waveguidesfiber characterizationall-optical networksinfraredcharge-coupled devicediffraction gratings.research articleElectrónicaIngeniería Industrial10.1364/AO.54.001138open access113851145Applied Optics54AR/0000016514
