Speciality Polymers Perfluorinated (PF) polymers for polymer optical fibre (POF) technology

摘要

Today, we are in the twenty first century, in the era of 'Information technology'. This technology has been undergoing exponential growth through the modern telecommunication systems. Although accession of glass optical fibre is milestone in the history of communication sector, remarkable properties of polymer optical fibres have cast the entire way to rej glass optical fibre. Even if Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Polystyrene (PS), Polycarbonate (PC) are pioneer in this field POF technology, low water absorption, good dimensional stability, low residual stress, smaller material dispersion, negligible attenuation losses in IR region, flexibility, low cost manufacturing, such essential cum exceptional properties of Perfluorinated polymer (PF) designate it as the best contender for polymer optical fibres when high speed data transm i is concerned. This paper provides insight to the manufacturing, properties and application of PF polymer which are the essence of modern ultrafast communication.
