A perfluorinated polyimide comprising a repeating unit represented by general formula (1): <IMAGE> (1) and a perfluorinated poly(amic acid) comprising a repeating unit represented by general formula (6): <IMAGE> (6) wherein R1 is a tetravalent organic group; and R2 is a divalent organic group, provided that chemical bonds between carbon atoms and monovalent elements contained in R1 and R2 are exclusively carbon-to-fluorine bonds; methods for preparing them; and optical material including the perfluorinated polyimide. 1,4-Bis(3,4-dicarboxytrifluorophenoxy)-tetrafluorobenzene dianhydride, 1,4-difluoropyromellitic anhydride, 1,4-bis(3,4-dicarboxytrifluorophenoxy)-tetrafluorobenzene, 1,4-difluoropyromellitic acid, and 1,4-bis(3,4-dicyanotrifluorophenoxy)-tetrafluorobenzene as well as methods preparing them. The perfluorinated polyimide has a thermal stability and has a low optical loss in an optical communication wavelength region (0.8 to 1.7 mu m).
