Abstract

The development of the perfluorinated (PF) polymer based graded-index polymer optical fiber (GI POF) for high-speed data communication is described. It was experimentally confirmed that gigabit data transmission for 500-1000 m at 1.3 μm wavelength was achieved by the low-loss PF polymer based GI POF. The thermal stability of poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA based GI POF is discussed. We selected several kinds of dopants that can maintain a high glass transition temperature (T_g) of the GI POF core. By using the newly selected dopants, we succeeded in maintaining the parabolic refractive index profile of GI POF with no degradation even at 85 to 90°C for more than 5000 h.
