Abstract
In this paper we report a method for reduce the birefingence of polymer optical fiber by using high pressure carbon dioxide fluids. Polymer optical fiber, in the manufacturing and forming process, it is effected by the external drawing and cooling so that the optical fiber presents exhibit birefringence. The experimental result shows that after the treatments of carbon dioxide fluids, the birefringence of optical fiber drop from 2-2.1×10- 4to 4.1-4.6×10- 5.
