Competing MaterialCompeting MaterialSide Emitting Plastic Optical Fibre (POF)

The POF has been widely used for lighting andillumination applications. However, as it is madeof acrylic resin core covered by fluororesin clad,sufficient flexibility cannot be obtained.

Core: PMMA

FujipolyFujipoly LGRLGRThe structure of Fujipoly LGR is the same“Multi-mode Optical Fibre with Step Index Type”as the POF’s, however as both the core and cladare made of elastomer, Fujipoly LGR is superiorin flexibility.

Core: High refractive index transparent elastomer

Cladding: Low refractive index transparent elastomer

Excellent Flexibility by all elastomer madeIts excellent flexibility is kept no matter the diameter is.

Clad designs are varied by internal processing.We are capable of designing the clad shape according

to an application or installation ways.
