We present an experimental characterization of the transmission properties of POFs comparing the performance of standard fibers with that of fibers designed to sustain high temperatures, such as those on avionics platforms. We tested different step-index 1-mm poly(methyl methacrylate) single-core and multicore fibers. Frequency response, bit error rate (BER), attenuation, and output power distribution were measured for each fiber type at room temperature. In addition, BER and fiber attenuation were monitored as a function of temperature, intentionally exceeding the temperature limits to obtain the true temperature ranges and to assess the performance penalty. The same properties were obtained for the overheated fibers and compared to those for nonheated fibers of the same type to reveal permanent performance degradation. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/TEC2015-63826-C3-3-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.162 2018 ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC 51 / 265 = 0.192 2018 Q1 T1 TELECOMMUNICATIONS 17 / 88 = 0.193 2018 Q1 T1 OPTICS 13 / 95 = 0.137 2018 Q1 T1 1.449 2018 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-1542-3236 Losada Binué, María Angeles Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4443-0614 Mateo Gascón, Javier Universidad de Zaragoza Jiang, Xan Richards, Dwight Antoniades, Neo 5008 800 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
