Abstract

Originating from distinct concepts for transferring information, sensing, or lighting efficiency, fiber characteristics vary greatly throughout their range. A substantial bandwidth-length product with acceptable attenuation characteristics is required for effective transfer of information. Since sensor fibers are typically used over short distances having considerably lower attenuation prerequisites. This paper presents polymer optical fiber (POFs) structures that are used as sensors over conventional fiber optics.An even broader spectrum of optical characteristics can be obtained by fabricating these fibers using polymer components rather than silica.A thick polymer fiber, as opposed to a glass optical fiber, will maintain its physical adaptability that is along with its large core, makes connecting the fibers during installation simple and reasonably priced. Diverse types of POF sensors are presented in this article with their possible application areas. POF is one of the technologies that could serve as the core of the crucial last mile of the telecom networks also known as access network, which offers a fiber-optic substitute for copper that, is simple to set up and has an excellent bandwidth. Further, optical access system is investigated for high transmission rate and longer span and results are shared. Large numbers of subscribers share the communication facilities in the which allows supervisors to amortize deployment and operating costs much more financially.

Keywords: Polymer Optical Fiber, POF Structures, POF Sensors, Optical access networks, Attenuation.
