This work describes the fabrication and evaluation of small core diameter Polymeric Optical fibres (POF) prepared from Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) (PMMA). Based on prior study, POF has a very interesting property in terms of short-reach local area networks due to the simpler manufacturing process and...
