Abstract-Optical fiber is the most appropriate medium able to meet future requirements in terms of capacity and heterogeneity in the home network. The advantages of a passive star architecture associated with wavelength multiplexing have already been reported. For lower-cost issues, multimode fiber would be preferred, but some problems were raised related to poor uniformity of the N × N multimode coupler when using the usual coarse wavelength division multiplexing sources. An original time-effective method is proposed, based on both simulation and calculation. Many results are provided, giving a better understanding of the behavior of the N × N coupler when different types of sources are used, also taking into account improvement techniques such as offset launching or mode scrambling.

“…Combining all these services into a single broadband in-home network can provide the desired highway extension, and can bring many other advantages, such as service integration, easier maintenance, easier upgrading, less power consumption, and thus lower costs. Optical fiber is excellently suited for such an in-home network [2,3]. Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is particularly attractive, due to its ease of handling (large-core step-index or graded-index POF even lends itself for do-it-yourself installation) [4].…”

Gaston Crommenlaan 8, 9050 Gent, Belgium * a.m.j.koonen@tue.nl Abstract: Optical fiber-based in-building network solutions can outperform in the near future copper-and radio-based solutions both regarding performance and costs. POF solutions are maturing, and can already today be cheaper than Cat-5e solutions when ducts are shared with electricity power cabling. We compare the CapEx and OpEx of in-building networks for fiber and Cat-5E solutions. For residential homes, our analysis shows that total network costs during economic lifetime are lowest for a point-topoint duplex POF topology.
