We describe graded-index polymer optical fibers with high bandwidth (5.12 GHz for 100-m transmission) and low loss in the near-infrared region (56 and 115 dB/km at wavelengths of 688 and 773 nm, respectively) that we successfully obtained with a new interfacial-gel polymerization technique using an all-deuterated methyl methacrylate monomer and a partially fluorinated acrylate monomer. The necessity for both low attenuation and high bandwidth for a polymer optical fiber is described for its use as a physical media in a high-speed multimedia network.
我们描述了一种渐变折射率聚合物光纤，其具有高带宽（100米传输时为5.12吉赫兹）以及在近红外区域的低损耗（在波长688纳米和773纳米处分别为56分贝/千米和115分贝/千米），这是我们通过使用全氘代甲基丙烯酸甲酯单体和部分氟化丙烯酸酯单体的新型界面凝胶聚合技术成功获得的。文中阐述了聚合物光纤对于低衰减和高带宽的需求，以将其用作高速多媒体网络中的物理介质。
