This work describes a video and power transmission system using optical fibers (PoF) for in-flight entertainment system applications. In the experimental demonstration it was used a laser with 12 W optical power operating at 808 nm. Two GaAs photovoltaic converters were used to produce electrical energy for one video monitor and one optical video receiver. The power and video signals were transmitted using two 50-m multimode fibers.
