Refractive index profile type optical fiber

Disclosed is a graded index type optical fiber having a multilayer structure comprising a plurality of concentrically arranged non-blended layers LNB1 to LNBm formed of (co)polymers P1 to Pm selected from the group consisting of two or more homopolymers HP1, HP2, . . . and HPn composed of units of v...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a graded index type optical fiber having a multilayer structure comprising a plurality of concentrically arranged non-blended layers LNB1 to LNBm formed of (co)polymers P1 to Pm selected from the group consisting of two or more homopolymers HP1, HP2, . . . and HPn composed of units of vinyl monomers M1, M2, . . . and Mn, respectively (provided that the refractive indices of the homopolymers decrease in that order), and one or more binary copolymers CPs composed of units of vinyl monomers M1, M2, . . . and Mn, each of (co)polymers P1 to Pm having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 80° C. or above, wherein the refractive index is highest at the center of the multilayer structure and decreases gradually toward the outer periphery thereof. This optical fiber has a small transmission loss, a large numerical aperture, and excellent resistance to moist heat.
