ÁngelesMateo, JavierLopez, AliciaRichards, DwightMadamopoulos, N.Antoniades, N.A POF model for short fiber segments in avionics applicationsART-2016-96367Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) have now been a well-established media for transporting high-speed at low cost in short distance communications systems, and avionics is the latest segment where these fibers are becoming an important factor. In fact, the POF''s flexibility and ease of installation make this fiber a great option for the replacement by fiber of some of the existing aircraft data links. We propose a new model for short fiber links that are suitable for plane''s systems that involve a lot of connectors; the model is built around two important properties, namely, power transfer among modes and attenuation. The model expands on our previous work on the subject and is based on detailed experimental measurements for various fiber types and lengths.2016http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6189410.1109/ICTON.2016.7550504http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61894oai:zaguan.unizar.es:61894info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/TEC2015-63826-C3-3-RInternational Conference on Transparent Optical Networks 2016 (2016), [4 pp.]All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
