mPOFBG Central Wavelength	BLS Output Power, dBm Pin	Devices Insertion Losses, dB LDevices	CWDM Insertion Loss, dB LCWDM	mPOFBG Insertion Losses, dB LmPOFBG−Si(Note 1)	Photodetector Sensitivity, dBm POut (Note 2)
λ1 = 1525 nm	−17.3	30.2	1.8	15.1	−66.6
λ2 = 1567 nm	−15.8	30.2	1.8	14.6	−66.6

Notes: 1. Including R_{λ mPOF k}; 2. Considering the amplified gain of 70 dB, the noise-equivalent power (NEP) and the bandwidth of the amplified InGaAs detector of $2\times {10}^{-12}\text{W}/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ and 12 kHz, respectively.
