This chapter presents an overview of the evolution of plastic optical fibers (POFs) in the last 20years, reviewing the technical achievements on both fiber design and system architectures that today allow the use of POF for Gb/s data links. In particular, we present the different POF materials (such as PMMA, perfluorinated polymers, etc.), types (such as SI-POF, GI-POF), and production processes, describing the resulting optical characteristics in terms of attenuation, d...
