Study on plastic optic fiber and its amplifier

The plastic optical fiber's fabricating process from raw material synthesis to fiber drawing was studied. The polymerization pattern effect on plastic optical fiber's property was observed. Plastic optical fiber's core with poly(methyl methyacrylate) and copolymer of styrene and methyl methyacrylate was made. A new kind of initiator—fluorine containing organic radicals, was then used to initiated the polymerization of monomer. By compared with different kind of plastic optical fiber coating technology, ultraviolet polymerization method was applied to cure plastic optical fiber's coating, thus obtaining the plastic optical fiber with excellent optical property. Doping organic dye into poly(methyl methyacrylate) plastic optical fiber, the continuous wave plastic optical fiber amplifier(CWPOFA) with optical amplification was obtained.
