Abstract
UV-curable optical adhesive systems featuring refractive indices in the 1.45 to 1.59 region controllable to within 0.005 are developed using new fluoro-epoxies and fluoro-epoxy (meth) acrylates. These adhesives possess excellent refractive index matching with optical glass and optical fibres, and the joints exhibit high bonding strength and good durability. These high performance adhesives are readily applicable as optical adhesives in fabricating optical components, attaching fibres to optical waveguides, and splicing optical fibres for optical communications.Keywords
