Abstract
Our aim in this work is to characterize experimentally the transmission properties of a 19-core plastic optical fiber and to compare them to those obtained for several single-core POFs under the same conditions. Thus, we measured frequency response, attenuation and angular output power distribution as functions of fiber length under different configurations. Additionally, measurements of parameters specific for MC-POFs such as power coupling among cores were carried out. The analysis of the whole set of experimental results helps us to better understand the behavior and transmission properties of MC-POFs exploring the mechanisms that affect light propagation in this type of fibers.
