Plastic optical fiber (POF; hollow multi-core)

Hollow multi-core POF, parallel transmission POF tape, side-emitting fiber

■Hollow Multi-Core POF This is a fiber with a hollow center that can be used as a light guide. It is also possible to insert an image fiber into the hollow part. ■Parallel Transmission POF Tape This is a POF tape expected to be used as an optical waveguide. ■Side-Emitting Fiber This is a fiber that illuminates from the side for decorative purposes. Asahi Kasei's high-performance plastic optical fibers have been developed by combining spinning technology cultivated through polymer technology and synthetic fibers. Plastic optical fibers are manufactured using highly transparent methacrylic resin as the core material and fluorine-based resin as the cladding material, utilizing the latest technology, and are expected to be a new material for applications such as signal transmission, light guides, and decoration. - The product specifications described on this page are only an overview, so please use them as a guideline for selecting the most suitable grade for individual applications. - The contents of this page may change without notice.

Plastic optical fiber (bare fiber, cord fiber)

◆ Various applications such as industrial, consumer, automotive, and lighting ◆ Available in bare fiber / cord fiber ◆ Standard lineup of various fiber diameters

- Heat resistance: The heat resistance of POF depends on the heat resistance of the plastic it is made from. - Flexibility: Plastic optical fibers have superior break strength under bending compared to electrical wires, but please use them within the allowable bending radius for each grade. For wiring with extreme bends, we recommend using Asahi Kasei's "Multi-Core POF," which does not experience a decrease in light transmission even when bent. - Chemical resistance: Plastic optical fibers can generally be affected by organic solvents, leading to a decrease in light transmission or mechanical strength, so please be cautious. <Handling Precautions> - Do not use for applications that come into contact with food, or for catheters, endoscopes, or other applications that come into direct contact with the human body. If used for medical purposes, please consult with an Opto-Ron Science representative in advance. We will make appropriate judgments in consultation with the manufacturer. - Plastic optical fibers (POF) are made of resin and are not designed to withstand excessive loads. - POF is made of resin, and if the environmental conditions for using POF are incorrect, there is a risk that the POF may break or its light guiding performance may decrease, resulting in a loss of light transmission function.

Plastic optical fiber (fiberscope)

◆Manufactured by bundling flexible plastic optical fibers ◆One end has an objective part, the other end has a docking part ◆Used for identifying unknown objects

Asahi Kasei has developed a POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) that combines polymer technology and spinning technology cultivated through synthetic fibers. It uses highly transparent methacrylic resin as the core material and fluorine-based resin as the cladding material, manufactured with the latest technology. POF is a material expected to be used in signal transmission and image transmission applications. Plastic optical fiber consists of a core (the central part) made of a high refractive index component, surrounded by a cladding (the outer layer) made of a low refractive index component. Light entering from one end of the optical fiber is transmitted to the other end by repeatedly undergoing total internal reflection at the boundary between the core and the cladding. ● Flexibility Compared to electric wires, it has excellent fracture strength against bending, but extreme bends can cause light transmission loss. Please use it within the allowable bending radius for each grade. For wiring with extreme bends, we recommend using Asahi Kasei's "Multi-Core POF," which does not experience a decrease in light intensity even when bent. ● Chemical Resistance Plastic optical fibers can generally be affected by organic solvents, leading to a decrease in light transmittance or mechanical strength, so please be cautious. For adhesive use, we recommend a room temperature curing two-component mixed epoxy adhesive.

Plastic optical fiber (multi-core POF fiber)

◆ It is possible to build a high-speed transmission system at low cost. ◆ It can also be used in systems with extreme bending at the connector part, movable equipment, and internal wiring in devices with many bending points.

■Multi-core POF can minimize light transmission loss when the fiber is bent by increasing the number of cores. - Transmission Loss (Guiding Loss) The light transmission characteristics of plastic optical fibers vary depending on the wavelength of light. - Weather Resistance The plastic optical fiber (POF) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd. is primarily composed of P-MMA resin, which has excellent weather resistance, so its initial performance rarely degrades over long periods. However, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may cause changes such as yellowing, so please be cautious. - Flexibility Compared to electrical wires, it has excellent fracture strength against bending, but extreme bends can cause light transmission loss. Please use it within the allowable bending radius for each grade. For wiring with extreme bends, we recommend using Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd.'s "Multi-core POF," which does not experience a decrease in light intensity when bent. - Chemical Resistance Generally, exposure to organic solvents can lead to a decrease in light transmission rate or mechanical strength, so please be cautious. For adhesive use, we recommend a room temperature curing two-component mixed epoxy adhesive.
