Abstract

RESUMEN

En este proyecto se analizaron las características y el modo de operación de las fibras ópticas plásticas en un enlace óptico WDM (Wavelenght Division Multiplexing) operando en el espectro visible. Se estudiaron los componentes activos y pasivos necesarios para el enlace, como son las fuentes LED, multiplexores, filtros y acopladores. Se analizaron los efectos no lineales que se pueden presentar en la fibra óptica, y que son importantes de considerar al transmitir señales WDM. Para respaldar el análisis se simuló en MATLAB un enlace óptico en el dominio de la frecuencia utilizando fuentes LED que emiten en el espectro visible, junto con multiplexores WDM, filtros de absorción, acopladores y como medio de transmisión la Fibra Óptica Plástica (POF -Plastic Optical Fiber).

Palabras clave: Comunicaciones ópticas, fibras ópticas plásticas, multiplexación por división de longitud de onda, WDM, POF.

ABSTRACT

In this project, the characteristics and the operation mode for polymer optical fibers were studied to use them over an optical link to transmit information over short distances. The project also analyzed the active and passive components needed to achieve this goal, as active components the LED sources were studied and as passive components the multiplexers, filters and splitters were considered. On the other hand all of the nonlinear effects caused by the transmission of WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) signals were examined. Finally, using MATLAB, a simulation of an optical link in the frequency domain was made using LED sources emitting light in the visible spectrum, together with WDM multiplexers, absorption filters, splitters and POF (Plastic Optical Fiber).

Keywords: Optical communications, polymer optical fiber, wavelength division multiplexing, WDM, POF.
