Ultrafine PMMA/PVDF Core-Shell Fibers for Nanophotonic Applications

초록

Organic polymer has been a potential material as optical waveguide fiber. Compared with inorganic optical materials, these organic optical materials possess many advantages, such flexibility, light, low cost as well as easy processibility. It is well known that optical waveguide fiber is consisting of one core material which is surrounded by another shell material with much lower refractive index to achieve total internal reflection of light. Up to now, how to fabricate optical waveguide fibers with small size via a facile way becomes a challenging task.
