Integration of Green Technology POF based Splitter for Low-Cost WDM Network Solutions

The green technology wavelength division multiplexing based on polymer optical fiber (GT-WDM-POF) network solution is presented. Green technology polymer optical fiber (GT-POF) splitter has been fabricated by environmental friendly handmade fusion technique, as an effective transmission media to split and recombine a number of different wavelengths. Two different wavelengths from ecologically friendly light emitting diode (LED) were fully utilized to transmit two different sources of systems; ethernat connection and video transmission system. Red LED which in 650nm wavelength capable to download and upload data through Ethernet cable while green LED in 520nm wavelength transmits a video signal. Special filter has been placed between the splitter and receiver-end to ensure GT-WDM-POF network system can select and generate a single signal as desired. Efficiency of both devices and network were observed. The material, fabrication method, system & application approach in this study are based on the environment friendly solution to reduce the power consumption & wastage without affecting the system performance. Our GT-POF splitter and GT-WDM-POF network solution proposed in this paper are the first reported up to this time.
