摘要:
There are provided an optical fiber as a linear radiator uniform in the longer direction thereof, and a lighting device using the optical fiber. The optical fiber is a lighting fiber having a core and a cladding. In the fiber, as the cladding, there is used a polymer obtained by polymerizing a polymerizing ingredient containing 90% or more by weight of vinylidene fluoride, and the cladding has a crystallinity of 45% to 52%.
摘要:
A plastic optical fiber for a medical device lighting is provided to decrease the cost of a lens and simplify the design of a lighting apparatus, wherein the plastic optical fiber for a medical device includes a core composed of a (co)polymer containing methyl methacrylate as a main component and is characterized by including a cladding material composed of a copolymer having a fluorine weight composition ratio of 60 to 74%, and by having a theoretical numerical aperture, NA, of 0.48 to 0.65, and thus, the plastic optical fiber has a high numerical aperture and also has excellent translucency and flexibility.
摘要:
Disclosed are: a plastic optical fiber comprising a core and a clad composed of at least one layer, wherein the clad comprises a copolymer comprising, as a copolymer components, 10 to 35% by weight of ethylene, 45 to 69% by weight of tetrafluoroethylene, 20 to 45% by weight of hexafluoropropylene, and 0.01 to 10% by weight of a specific fluorovinyl compound; and a plastic optical fiber code comprising the plastic optical fiber. The plastic optical fiber and the plastic optical fiber code have such a level of heat resistance that they can withstand the use at an actual use temperature of 105°C. The plastic optical fiber and the plastic optical fiber code have a good balance among wet heat resistance, bending loss, flexibility and other properties and also has excellent pistoning properties, and therefore are suitable for automotive interior wiring and house wiring.
