SHAPED ARTICLES OF GRADUATED REFRACTIVE INDEX EXHIBITING LOW DISPERSION

A monolithic, thermoplastic article with a continuously graded refractive index is formed by polymerizing a fluorinated matrix polymer in the presence of a low molecular weight, substantially unreactive guest molecule of different refractive index than the matrix polymer. The thermoplastic articles...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A monolithic, thermoplastic article with a continuously graded refractive index is formed by polymerizing a fluorinated matrix polymer in the presence of a low molecular weight, substantially unreactive guest molecule of different refractive index than the matrix polymer. The thermoplastic articles may be used to produce shaped articles such as optical waveguides, fibers or lenses of low attenuation and high bandwidth.
