Abstract
Growing needs for processing and transmission of information have led to the increasing use of optical fibers for high speed communication. Although most long-haul communication has utilized single-mode glass fibers, inorganic glasses are not a universally ideal material especially for fiber connection and handling problem. The large core polymer optical fibers (POFs) will solve such problems because of great flexibility.
