Large core diameter POF/PCF optical switch using shape memory alloy (SMA) coil actuator for local area network (LAN) system

The polymer optical fiber (POF) is mostly suitable for house held optical switches because of its large core diameter. A high performance optical switch building process is described. In order to achieve high performance switching and low data loss, we examine different technique while building diff...
