Design and development of a MUX/DEMUX element for WDM communication over SI-POF

Standard polymer optical fibres (POFs) are used in various fields of applications. As a medium for communication systems, polymer materials offer many advantages in comparison with copper or glass. They feature lower weight and the non-existing susceptibility to any kind of electromagnetic interference. Compared with glass fibres (GOF), POFs feature easy and economical processing and are more flexible for optical connections.
