Optical Polymers
Harmon, Julie P. / Noren, Gerry K.
This text examines the design and application of polymeric waveguides and fibers. It discusses new polymer systems designed to expand the efficiency of and the number of applications for polymer waveguides. Topics include graded-index materials, ruggedized systems and dye-doped systems, structure property relations, and new synthetic and processing techniques designed to minimize extrinsic losses.
