Plastic optical fiber (POF) is a type of optical fiber that employs a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as its core, surrounding by a cladding made of fluorinated polymethyle methacrylate. The typical POF has a core diameter 980um and cladding diameter 1000um, with NA 0.5. Match with cost effective LED source peferctly.
POF is distinguished by its material composition, practical application and unique advantages, making it suitable for specific uses that demand tight bending radius and robust performance under less critical conditions than those served by GOF and PCF. For example, medicine, Factory automation, Automotive industry and Sensing technology.
