Abstract
Plastic optical fibers (POF for short) is one of the attractive optical information transmission medium because of their handling ease with their good ductility, splicing ease to each other and to light sources with their large fiber diameter and high numerical aperture. In this paper, the potential of POFs for practical applications will be discussed.
