Novel Manufacturing Method of Graded Index Copolymer Optical Fiber Preform and Its Characteristic Abstractcs
May 1, 2003 Paper Abstract From: International Wire & Cable Symposium In order to overcome a volume shrinkage problem of bulk radical polymerization of an acrilic monomer during the manufacturing of a reform with a gradient of refractive index for PMMA based graded-index polymer fuber we design a novel cylindrical reactor with a three dimensional structure which can prevrnt the vacancy due to the vlume shrinkage from propagating into the main reaction part of the reactor and several monomer-feeding routes, we can successfully fabricate a large sized graded-index preform. Especially, it is neddled to adopt an additional monomer charging process by which the possiblity of contamination is increased considerably.
