Abstract
An integrating fiber-to-the-home and plastic optical fiber (POF) in-door
routing CATV transport system is proposed and demonstrated with good quality
of service. In this system, a 1550 nm optical signal is directly transmitted
along with a span of single-mode fiber (SMF) plus POF without wavelength
converting or any bridge circuit. The feasibility of our proposed system is
observed and accompanied with good carrier-to-noise ratio, composite
second-order, and composite triple beat performances under various SMF and
POF lengths. To be the first one, to the best of our knowledge, of
successfully transporting CATV signals in such integrated access and in-door
LAN, this system reveals prominence in simplicity and cost-effective to
provide all-optical CATV service all the way to consumer in-door
devices.
