PLASTIC-COATED OPTICAL TRANSMISSION FIBER AND AN ESTIMATING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Optical-transmission fibers serve to transmit signal over some distance. Said fibers have traditionally been constructed of a glass fiber; consisting of a central core and an outside clad, a surrounding soft layer around said fiber and a hard layer around the soft layer. Because of the material construction, said fibers had high dynamic losses. By altering the materials used around the glass fiber, the present invention has successfully dramatically reduced the dynamic loss and therefore greatly improved the possibilities for signal transmission. The organic material used to enhance transmission ability may vary but the effect is such that the dynamic loss remains low as compared to any previous art.
