Application of optical polymers in plastic or hybrid glass-plastic optics

摘要

We have examined various types of basic and commercial optical polymers. Bulk specimens as well as thin polymer films were investigated to determine their refractive and dispersive properties in the visible and NIR region. Several measuring techniques have been used to obtain extensive refractometric data. On the base of measured results dispersion coefficients, curves, Abbe numbers and thermo-optic coefficients are calculated. A comparison of studied polymers to catalogue glasses is presented to determine the possibility of their integration in hybrid glass-polymer components.
