Summary
Summary
Polymer Optical Fibers summarize research activities on polymer optical fibers to offer a complete perspective on this emerging topic. Polymer optical fibers are in great demand for the transmission and processing of optical communications compatible with internet which is one of the fastest growing industries of modern era. This book is aimed to bring together under a single cover all aspects of the plastic optical fibers including different class of polymers, fiber fabrication techniques, laser sources used for optical fibers, mechanical properties, poling, adhesion, donor-acceptor properties of surfaces, protective coatings, water resistance, stress corrosion, deformation characteristics, temperature and pressure sensitivity, fiber elongation, optical fiber attenuation, planar waveguides, refractive index distribution, applications in telecommunication and high capacity transmission systems, amplifiers, sensors, and integrated optical devices, frequency up-conversion, etc. A perfect multidisciplinary reference source for scientists, researchers, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and practitioners working in the field of optical fibers, polymer science, materials science, physics, optical engineering, surface science, sensors, and other device applications.
