日本开发成功新型塑料光纤,其信息传输速度每秒可达10千兆比特,是现有玻璃光纤的10倍。光纤有玻璃光纤和塑料光纤两种。目前玻璃光纤使用较普遍,塑料光纤虽已实用化,但多用于照明系统。科研人员把制造塑料光纤的原材料聚甲基丙烯酸酯(ＰＭＭＡ)换成氟树脂,其直径比玻璃光纤粗30 Japan successfully developed a new type of plastic optical fiber, the information transmission speed of up to 10 Gigabit per second, is 10 times the existing glass fiber. Optical fiber glass and plastic fiber two. At present, the use of glass fiber is more common, although the plastic fiber has been practical, but more for lighting systems. Researchers to manufacture plastic optical fiber raw material polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) replaced by fluorine resin, the diameter of the glass fiber than the rough 30
