Abstract
We report the fabrication of polymer microfiber with high surface smoothness and length uniformity using molten polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by direct drawing technique. PMMA microfibers with diameters ranging from 6 to 12 m and lengths up to few centimeters have been drawn by this method. The microfibers' losses are obtained at 0.37, 0.27, and 0.19 dB/mm for the microfibers with diameters of 6, 8, and 12 m, respectively. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
