TECHNOLOGY FOR PREPARATION OF OPTICAL FIBER WAVEGUIDES FROM POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE

摘要

The technology for preparation of optical fiber waveguides (1, 2) from polydimethylsiloxane is based on pulling fibers from partially cured polydimethylsiloxane. Partially cured polydimethylsiloxane (5) is placed either between two fibers, or one fiber is placed in a container with partially cured polydimethylsiloxane and subsequently the fibers move part or the fiber is pulled from the container with polydiethylsiloxane by defined speed so that the optical fiber waveguide (6) with required parameters is formed.
