Silica optical fiber with a double polymer cladding

摘要

An optical fiber comprises a silica multimode optical core having a refractive index n1 and at least one polymer optical cladding having a refractive index n2, with n1>n2. It further comprises a heterogeneous polymer intermediate optical cladding situated between the multimode core and the optical cladding and having a refractive index substantially equal to the refractive index n1 of the multimode core.
