Abstract

A new type of analog data transmission system using a plastic fiber is proposed, where a direct intensity modulation scheme has been employed together with a differential amplifier to compensate for the transmission error caused by the optical fiber bending loss. This system was experimentally applied to transmit analog data of dimensions detected by the displacement sensor attached to the robot arm tip to the robot basement through the plastic optical fiber installed in the robot arm body.
