我们评估了使用不同整理程序的单芯和多芯塑料光纤（POF）的光纤末端终止对连接器损耗的影响。标准ST连接器的插入损耗测量了来自不同制造商的光纤，但都采用聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（PMMA）芯，高数值孔径（NAs）和直径为1mm的包层。我们测试了具有阶梯指数（SI）剖面的单芯纤维和具有19芯的多芯纤维。我们发现，根据光纤特性，最合适的工具是不同的，连接器插入损耗可以低至0.5 dB，这证实了精加工过程的高影响。
We assess the influence of fibre end termination on connector loss for single-core and multi-core plastic optical fibres (POF) using different finishing procedures. Insertion loss for standard ST connectors was measured for fibres from different manufacturers but all with poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) cores, high numerical apertures (NAs) and claddings of 1 mm diameter. We tested single-core fibres with step-index (SI) profiles and a multi-core fibre with 19 cores. We found that the most suitable tool is different depending on the fibre characteristics and that connector insertion loss can be as low as 0.5 dB confirming the high impact of the finishing procedure.
