High-performance plastic optical fibers are a product of the world-leading polymer and spinning technologies of Asahi Kasei. With their highly transparent PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) core and fluoropolymer clad, Asahi Kasei plastic optical fibers are becoming the material of choice for the emerging era of optics, in data transmission systems, sensors, light guides, and decorative illumination. Highest optical transmission levels in plastic fibers. Excellent visible-spectrum transmission. Excellent rupture strength, elongation, durability. Large transmission capacity due to large fiber diameter and numerical aperture. Ease of cutting, layout, bonding, polishing, other processing. Minimum attenuation in visible spectrum, for efficient optical systems with low-cost LEDs and photodiodes. Data transmission field: Factory automation, audio systems, automotive controls, car navigation, LANs. Image transmission Sensors: Defect and fault detectors; position, color, and gloss sensors. Light Guides: Point illumination for industrial inspections and measurements, medical examination and therapy, electrical appliances and automotive devices, hazardous or underwater environments, and artworks and jewelry. Decorative uses: Signs, decorative illumination, underwater luminescent decoration. Others: The range of creative possibilities is limited only by the imagination.   • Specifications are subject to change without notice.
