3 Gbit/s LED-based step index plastic optical fiber link using multilevel pulse amplitude modulation

Multilevel PAM is investigated for a LED-based SI-POF link. Using PAM-8, transmission at a record 3 Gbit/s is demonstrated for a maximum length of 25 m step index POF with offline post-receiver processing.
