Abstract :
Bandwidth characteristics and refractive index profile formation of the low-loss graded-index polymer optical fiber were described. Low material dispersion of the perfluorinated polymer base GI POF provides higher bandwidth than the conventional silica base GI multimode fiber in visible to near infrared region
