Abstract
A useful method to prepare the polymer rods to be used for the preform to make the graded index polymer optical fiber (GI-POF) or for the optical rod lens is proposed. It is concluded that the polymer rod is prepared successfully by utilizing the swelling of the polymers and the diffusion of the monomers in the polymer-monomer mixtures. The diameter of the GI-POF will be controlled to 1.0mm(core 0.98mm and clad 0.02mm) in the experiment.
