I don't believe POF is significantly compatible with WDM. The compatibility lies in true Pure. Plastics are made up of polymers, long chains of Carbon atoms. Because the presence Hydrogen atoms distort Carbon's electron orbital structure, the Hydrogen and inter-Carbon bonds are non-isotropic in plastic. This is opposite the the case of diamond where there are no Hydrogen electrons to skew the Carbon bond. The resulting configuration space poses a refraction problem for multiple frequency transmission as is found in many-colored WDM, from color mixing diffusion. Molecular cross-linking adds to this problem. SR's quasi-solitonic compression singular wavelength may totally avoid this constraint and thereby in conjunction with POF and optimicrocomponents provide not only high throughput down to signal destination in the last mile, but also integrity of signal over distances up to 2,000 kilometers without repeaters.
