| The analytical solution of the time dependent power flow equation is employed to calculate impulse response in a step index plastic optical fiber. Results are given at different fiber lengths and are shown to agree with those reported in the literature. Mode dependent attenuation, modal dispersion and mode coupling in plastic optical fibers are known to affect fiber optic power delivery, data transmission, and sensing systems. |
