Core Technology for Achieving Plastic Optical Fibers in an All-Optical Network

Abstract

The rapid expansion and integration of ICT (information and communication convergence technologies) technology, and large-scale deployment of audio, video and data applications, has prompted the State to promote the concept of all-optical networks. However, due to various technical bottlenecks, this goal has not been easily achievable, particularly in light of network access, transmission, and switching that have proven to be large technical problems. This paper deals with the end of all-optical access, transfer, and exchange of technical problems, to achieve an all-optical network access layer, together with its core POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) based media and equipment to realize fully optical networks that are useful for social-scale users of all-optical business needs in industries such as electricity, petroleum, and transportation and other private all-optical business networks.
