Plastic Optical Fiber Systems Offer the Same Advantages of Glass Optical Fibers (GOF) but at a Lower Cost.

, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c37958) has announced the addition of Plastic Optical Fiber Plastic optical fiber (POF) is an optical fiber which is made out of plastic. traditionally PMMA (acrylic) is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material.  (POF POF Piano dell'Offerta Formativa (Italy)

Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) systems offer the promise for low cost applications in communications, data transmission, illumination illumination, in art

, lighting, imaging, sensing and light transmission. POF systems can provide the same advantages of glass optical fibers (GOF GOF Gang of Four (Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides; authors of the book Design Patterns)

) but at lower cost and easier use. Glass optical fiber systems have received more attention than POF, mainly due to their rapid acceptance in the telephone industry. Recent developments in POF technology now make POF a contender for a large number of data and audio applications at data rates up to 100 Mbps and distances up to 100 meters. Plastic optical fiber systems are also finding increased applications for sensors

  • Hydrophones
  • Seismometers

 and lighting. The technology is also moving rapidly as evidenced by recent papers on multimode and single mode POF, high temperature fibers, integrated POF circuits, laminated laminated /lam·i·nat·ed/ (-nat?ed) having, composed of, or arranged in layers or laminae.

The POF Newsletter has as its objective keeping end users, design engineers, installers, distributors, and systems integrators An individual or organization that builds systems from a variety of diverse components. With increasing complexity of technology, more customers want complete solutions to information problems, requiring hardware, software and networking expertise in a multivendor environment.  up-to-date on developments in POF technology, applications, products, standards and other aspects of plastic optical fiber components and systems. With no other publication available today devoted solely to plastic optical fiber technology, markets and applications, the POF Newsletter is the publication of record for those wishing to keep up with this fast moving field.
