A monolithic, thermoplastic article with a continuously graded refractive index is formed by polymerizing a fluorinated matrix polymer in the presence of a low molecular weight, substantially unreactive guest molecule of different refractive index than the matrix polymer. The thermoplastic articles may be used to produce shaped articles such as optical waveguides, fibers or lenses of low attenuation and high bandwidth.
一种具有连续分级折射率的整体热塑性制品,是通过聚合含
氟基质聚合物,并在存在与基质聚合物折射率不同的低分子量、基本无反应的客体分子的情况下形成的。这种热塑性材料可用于生产低衰减、高带宽的异形材料,如光波导、光纤或透镜。
