Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9960426A2] The invention relates to a method of making a plastic optical fibre, in which method plastic materials with suitable optical properties are fed into an extrusion apparatus so as to form a multilayer structure where the refractive index decreases gradually in a controlled manner from the inside outwards. The invention also relates to a plastic optical fibre. In order to provide flexible and continuous manufacture and a wideband fibre, the extrusion apparatus consists of at least one multilayer conical extruder unit (1) which produces a product where the layers are formed without weld lines, are symmetrical and adhere well to each other. The number of the layers may also be high.
