Abstracts

EN

The analytical solution of the time-dependent power flow equation is employed to calculate impulse response in a step-index plastic optical fiber. Results are given at different fiber lengths and are shown to agree with those reported in the literature. Mode-dependent attenuation, modal dispersion and mode coupling in plastic optical fibers are known to affect fiber-optic power delivery, data transmission, and sensing systems.
