Optical switches for large core diameter optical fibers (POF & PCF)

Optical switches for large core diameter optical fibers (POF & PCF)

POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) is more suitable than the quartz optical fiber for indoor LAN (Local Area Network), for example in-home or office networks because of its flexibility and ease of connection by relatively large core diameter.1 x 2 optical switches for indoor LAN using POF have been devel...
