Beschreibung

Polymer Optical Fibres: Fibre Types, Materials, Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications explores polymer optical fibers, specifically their materials, fabrication, characterization, measurement techniques, and applications. Optical effects, including light propagation, degrading effects of attenuation, scattering, and dispersion, are explained. Other important parameters like mechanical strength, operating temperatures, and processability are also described. Polymer optical fibers (POF) have a number of advantages over glass fibers, such as low cost, flexibility, low weight, electromagnetic immunity, good bandwidth, simple installation, and mechanical stability.

Prof. Christian-Alexander Bunge works in the Institute for Communications Technology at University of Applied Sciences Leipzig (HfTL), on microstructured and solid polymer fibers, in optical, acoustic, magnet, and mechanical sensor technologies and optical communications. HfTL specialises in ICT and is organised in cooperation with Deutsche Telekom AG.

Mr Markus Beckers works in the ITA. RWTH Aachen is ranked no. 1 University for technology in Germany and ITA is in a top international position in polymer fibre production and application research. It specialises in process upscaling and product development close to market.Thomas Gries is Professor and Director of the Institut für Textiltechnik of RWTH Aachen University, Germany. His achievements are commendable, and his contributions to the field of textile technology and fibre based composites have had a profound impact. Furthermore, his leadership in transforming the Institut für Textiltechnik into a comprehensive provider of textile innovation, digitalisation and sustainability initiatives underscores his dedication to pushing the boundaries of textile technology. His involvement in textile recycling, decarbonisation, biotransformation and efforts to enhance energy and material efficiency further solidifies his status as an undisputed leader in the field.
