Abstract

An overview of the attenuation analysis of producing polymer optical fibres (POF) with different cladding materials but same diameter is given. Based on a systematic literature review, the melt spinning method was applied in practice and different combinations of POF bobbins manufactured. The production methods are described in detail and their attenuation results discussed.
