Abstract

A first step toward all-optical network was successfully taken with graded-index perfluorinated polymer optical fibers (Gi-POF) spliced with glass optical fibers (GOF). The concept was demonstrated with optical fibers and with specially designed transceivers. In addition, the casings for transceiver devices involved were made of specialty magnesium alloy, which was demonstrated to be several times better than most other commonly used materials in shielding electrical contents from electromagnetic interference (EMI), a must-have feature for modern ultra-high-speed networks. We continue to work toward truly all optical networks by replacing O/E conversions even further with more optical/optical (O/O) connections..
