AbstractPlastic optical fibers (so called POF) are already in wide use in a large number of fields. This paper gives an overview of the field including the advantages of plastic optical fibers, the various types of fibers and the materials in them.Then, the properties of three types of fibers which have recently been developed, are discussed. The first is fibers with a poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) core, which have a low transmission loss. Another is heat resistant fibers for use in automobiles. And the third is the multi-fiber type for image guides. And finally, the applications of these fibers and their future prospect are discussed.

AbstractIn this paper, the dispersion characteristics of two standard single-mode optical fibers (SMFs), fabricated with silica and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are studied in telecommunication spectral regions. The effect of structural parameters, such as the radius of the fiber core and the relative core-cladding index difference, is numerically investigated. It is found that over whole spectral range, the PMMA-based SMF shows lower dispersion than the silica SMF. Also, the zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) of PMMA-based SMF is longer than that of silica fiber. The results may be of practical importance for the telecommunication applications.
