OPTICAL TRANSMISSION FIBRE HAVING ORGANO-POLYSILOXANE COATINGS

摘要

A glass fiber for use in optical transmission which comprises a first layer containing an organopolysiloxane having a refractive index higher than that of the glass which forms the outermost layer of the glass fiber, a second layer comprising an organopolysiloxane which is the same or different than the organopolysiloxane in the first layer, and a thermoplastic resin coated on the second layer in a thickness less than about 100 microns.
