Abstract :
Polymer Optical Fibers can be used for data transmission at bit rates of 1 Gbps and more, as had been demonstrated in many laboratories and projects over the last years. The paper will give an overview to the different options for transmitters, fibers and modulation formats. Two different proposals for a standard Gigabit interface are under discussion in the German POF standardization group AK412.7.1. A main focus will be set on the use of LED as low cost components and latest results using new green (530 nm) LED for 1 Gbps transmission over 50 m SI-POF will be demonstrated.
