Conventional electricity distribution using copper wires is well established due to its high efficiency. However, recent research and development on power-over-fiber (PoF) has proposed optical fiber as an alternative to copper wire as the transmission medium for electricity distribution. The research and development on PoF technology have gained significant momentum over the past decade due to its advantage over copper cables in providing electrical isolation and reducing space in remote sites. The technological advances in laser diodes, fiber optic cable fabrications, and semiconductor manufacturing contribute to developing an efficient PoF system, making them more commercially viable. This paper reviews various PoF systems that imply different arrangements of high-power lasers, fiber optic cables, and photovoltaic power converters. The PoF systems are made available for various applications such as in-home applications, smart power management, and powering sensors with bidirectional communications. The comparison of the PoF composition, commercialized PoF systems, and patented PoF systems are also comprehensively discussed. Finally, the challenges in implementing PoF systems are highlighted, as well as future prospects for research and applications. The information reviewed in this paper aims to provide a roadmap for developing a future PoF system with improved power conversion efficiency.

“…Although high optical power transmission is possible, the crosstalk between data signals and feed light occurs in the same core when simultaneously transmitting these signals. To avoid the crosstalk, a few approaches have been reported, such as spatially separating data signals and feed light in the MM core [36] and also modulating data signals in the feed light itself [42]; however, if solely the feed light is transmitted over MMFs, the use of MMFs is the most practical method in PWoF [24], [32], [35], [37]− [41].…”

Power-over-fiber (PWoF) is an attractive technology for transmitting power utilizing optical fibers. Because optical fibers are nonconductive power lines, and can transmit data signals simultaneously, PWoF enables us to provide usages that are not feasible with conventional electric power supply systems using copper wires. This study presents an overview of PWoF using various types of optical fibers, and introduces a practical application for powering remote antenna units (RAUs) in mobile communications. To power a RAU, the author's group has worked on PWoF using double-clad fibers, which comprise a single-mode core and an inner cladding that surrounds the core. The core structure is more suitable for simultaneous high-speed data signals and high-power feed light transmission than other optical fibers. To demonstrate the feasibility, the experimental demonstrations of the authors' group are introduced in detail. In addition, the latest performance comparison of PWoF reported so far is presented, and future prospects are described. Index Terms-Double-clad fiber (DCF), mobile communications, optical power transmission, photovoltaic power converter (PPC), power-over-fiber (PWoF), radio-over-fiber (RoF), remote antenna unit (RAU). I. INTRODUCTIONW ITH the rapid development of mobile communication technologies, radio-over-fiber (RoF) has become essential for achieving higher capacity data communications [1]−[3]. It is desirable for remote antenna units (RAUs) to provide wireless communication with mobile terminals over optical fibers in all types of locations, and thus RAUs require operational technologies that can be adapted to various installation environments. In addition, as the carrier frequency of radio-frequency signals increases and cell size decreases, more RAUs with simpler installation techniques will be required.Electric power is always required for communication. In main communication facilities such as network nodes and central offices (COs), it is relatively easy to utilize commercial power supply facilities because they are installed in office areas and densely populated areas where infrastructure facilities are well Manuscript

“…In addition to the papers presented at OWPT from 2019 to 2021, various other sensor applications have recently been reported. For example, since Internet of Things (IoT) sensors require power and transmission of sensor information, PWoF is a very effective way to simplify the configuration of the system [36,37]. Underwater power transmission using cooper cables poses the risk of electrical leakage.…”
