Abstract
The birefringence-free copolymer was prepared by randomly copolymerizing positive and negative birefringent monomers. The birefringence-free copolymer showed excellent transparency and no microscopic heterogeneous structures were observed. As a novel application of the birefringence-free copolymer, we propose the polarization preserving polymer optical fiber (POF).
