Investigations on Electronic Equalization for Step-Index Polymer Optical Fiber Systems

Abstract: Electronic equalization can allow for significant mitigation of impairments induced by modal dispersion in the step-index Polymer Optical Fiber In this work we show the performance of digital T-spaced equalizer technologies like Feed Forward Equalization (FFE) and Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE) with data rates from 100 Mbit/s to 500 Mbit/s The simulations are based on a channel model, which combines all three major fiber effects of modal attenuation, modal dispersion and mode coupling
