摘要:
A process and an apparatus for producing a preform for plastic optical fiber having a refractive index distribution in which the refractive index is gradually decreased from the center of the preform toward the outer periphery thereof, by depositing a deposition layer comprising a polymer A (refractive index: N.sub.a) and a refractive index modifier having a refractive index different from that of the polymer A onto a surface of a rod member rotating about an axis thereof, by use of vapor-phase deposition based on a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) process, or a coating process. A plastic optical fiber preform comprising deposition layers having a gradually decreasing refractive index distribution is formed by changing the mixing ratio between the polymer A and the refractive index modifier constituting the deposition layer.

An optical switch for switching an optical path by changing the refractive index of the circumference of a light coupling region of a directional coupler is disclosed. Such a change is accomplished by a photochromic compound in the circumferential medium of the light coupling region. Such a photochromic compound when beamed with light of a specific wavelength undergoes a photochromic reaction which changes the refractive index of the circumferential medium of the light coupling region. Such a reaction is reversible when beamed with light of another specific wavelength.
