Abstract

A monolithic structured polymer preform was formed by in-situ chemical polymerization of high-purity MMA monomer in a home-made mould. The conditions for fabrication of the preforms were optimized and the preform was drawn to microstructured polymer optical fibre. The optical properties of the resultant elliptical-core fibre were measured. This technique provides advantages over alternative preform fabrication methods such as drilling and capillary stacking, which are less suitable for mass production.

摘要

通过在自制模具中对高纯度甲基丙烯酸甲酯（MMA）单体进行原位化学聚合，形成了整体结构的聚合物预制棒。对预制棒的制造条件进行了优化，并将预制棒拉制成微结构聚合物光纤。测量了所得椭圆芯光纤的光学性能。与诸如钻孔和毛细管堆叠等其他预制棒制造方法相比，该技术具有优势，因为那些方法不太适合大规模生产。
