[email protected] Acknowledgment This research is part of the activities of the Swiss Centre for Competence in Energy Research on the Future Swiss Electrical Infrastructure (SCCER-FURIES), which is financially supported by the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse - SCCER program). Keywords ”Optical Link”, ”Data Transmission”, ”Intensity Modulation”, ”Plastic Optical Fiber” Abstract In modern medium voltage power electronic systems, the need for high bandwidth data transmission, often through optical fibers is growing. In the most common solution multiple fibers are required in order to transmit multiple signals, which increases the overall system cost and its complexity.
