Fabrication and characterization of hand-Made 1´12 splitter based on polymer optical fiber made of polymethyl methacrylate

This research was conducted to develop a 1×12 optical splitter based on polymer optical fiber (POF) made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material as a high efficiency optical signal transmission medium. Basically, the optical device has 1 POF input port and 12 POF output ports in a bundled fiber...
