<p>Optical fibers composed of a core component comprising polysiloxane of a crosslinked structure and a clad component formed around said core component and comprising a substantially transparent organic polymer having a refractive index lower than that of the core by 0.01 or more, and a process for producing the optical fibers by filling the hollow clad with crosslinkable liquid silicone and crosslinking the liquid silicone in a static state. The optical fibers have excellent flexibility, heat resistance, freeze resistance, chemical resistance, and vibration resistance, and can be used in severe environments.</p> |
