Abstract
A technique for drawing ‘silica plastic’ fibres is described, along with the transmission and mechanical characteristics of the fabricated fibres. A number of applications of these fibres is also reported, including computer interconnection systems, r.f. reference signal transmission and the propagation of laser radiation through optical fibres for use in surgery.Keywords
