And a method of manufacturing the graded index polymer optical fiber

摘要

One form of the present invention is a GI type POF of the plurality of layers, each layer a POF containing a dopant of one or more polymers and one substantially. Each layer can be made of the same polymer or different are made of one and the same homopolymer is preferably each layer. Useful dopants, an organic compound of a cyclic or acyclic than about 20 carbon, rare earth oxide alkyl or alkyl metal oxides. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a POF of the GI type of the present invention.
