Graded-Index and Single-Mode Polymer Optical Fibers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
High-bandwidth graded-index (GI) polymer optical fiber (POF) and single-mode POF with good mechanical properties were successfully obtained by our interfacial-gel polymerization technique. The bandwidth of the GI POF is about 1 GHz · km which is two hundred times larger than that of the conventional step-index (SI) POF. The minimum attenuation of transmission is 56 dB/km at 688-nm wavelength and 94 dB/km at 780-nm wavelength. The single-mode POF in which the core diameter was 3–15 μ m and the attenuation of transmission was 200 dB/km at 652-nm wavelength was successfully obtained for the first time.
