In previous chapters, different optical sensing mechanisms have been discussed. The characteristics of the different types of OFSs have been presented and compared. Although different types and characteristics have been shown, all those sensing techniques were fabricated using silica optical fibers. In this chapter, an alternative line of optical fiber

Studies of Polymer Optical Fibers
Organic Thin Films for Photonic Applications, 1995The growing demands in local area networks (LANs) for low cost broad band data communications are providing a major opportunity for further technology developments important to polymer optical materials and devices. Polymer optical fibers (POF) can satisfy requirements for high-bandwidth, quick-connect, fiber optics for short distance (100 m) data ...

Polymer Optical Fiber Couplers
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992<div class="htmlview paragraph">With increasing electronic function and sophistication in automobiles, optical fibers provide an attractive alternative to copper based media. Lower labor and component costs make polymer optical fibers (POF) preferable for this application to fibers based on silica.

Fiber optic polymer cure sensor
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 1988An in situ method is presented for monitoring the curing of polymeric compositions, including epoxy- and polymide-based composites. The sensor measures the difference between the refractive index of the cured and uncured composition, with the index increasing as polymerization proceeds.

Polymer optical fiber amplifier
Applied Physics Letters, 1993Polymer optical fiber amplifiers (POFA) of graded-index (GI) type, which have a gain in visible region, were successfully prepared by the interfacial-gel polymerization technique. The gain of 27 dB was observed at 591 nm signal wavelength with 690 W launched pump power at 532 nm in a GI POFA with 0.5 m length.

Properties of polymer optical fibers
2002Like glass fibers, polymer optical fibers are characterized by a wide range of different parameters. In Chapter 1 we discussed the extent to which light propagation affects such essential properties as bandwidth and attenuation. The user will also be interested in other characteristics such as: Durability of the fiber Thermal resistance

Polymer optical fibers for photonics
SPIE Proceedings, 1997Polymer optical fibers may suitable for a wide variety of applications because they are easy to process into a wide variety of structures. For example, graded index fibers are widely believed to be ready for high bandwidth local area network applications such as fiber to the home.

Modeling of Polymer Optical Fibers
2013The idea of this chapter is to give a complete overview on a matrix approach to describe light propagation in strongly multimode fibers such as 1-mm diameter plastic optical fibers. These large core fibers accept such a huge number of travelling modes that they can be viewed as a continuum.

All-optical devices in polymer optical fiber
Chemical Physics, 1999Abstract We report on polymer optical fiber devices for sensors, optical switches/logic, and optical actuators. In this paper, we give a brief overview of polymer fibers, discuss recent all-optical switching results, and describe how an optical sensor and actuator can be built into a single fiber device.
