완전히 불순물을 제거한 투명한 polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)의 prerod를 제조하여 연속 열연신하여 얻은 플라스틱 섬유의 연신온도($T_d$)에 따른 굴절율, 굴절율분포, 복굴절율 및 전송손실율을 측정하였다. $T_d$가 높을수록 다소 낮은 굴절율을 보였으나, 섬유의 중심에서 주변으로 감에 따른 굴절율분포는 오히려 낮은 $T_d$에서가 현저했고, 높은 $T_d$에서는 주변에서만 급격한 굴절율의 강하를 보였다. 또한 $T_d$가 220$^{\circ}C$ 미만에서는 복굴절을 ${\Delta}$n = $5{sim}6{\times}10^{-4}$을 보이고 그 보다 높은 온도의 $T_d$에서는 이러한 현상이 나타나지 않았다. Attenuation은 높은 $T_d$일수록 낮은 값을 보였다.

The refractive index, refractive-index distribution, birefringence, and the attenuation of the plastic fiber prepared from the transparent PMMA prerod were measured in accordance with continuous heat drawing temperature($T_d$). The refractive indices were decreased with $T_d$ elevation but the refractive-index distribution from the center of fiber to periphery was higher at lower $T_d$. The steep decrease of gradient index was only at the periphery of higher $T_d$. Birefringence was observed only below $220^{\circ}C$ and ranged $5{\times}10^{-4}$ to $6{\times}10^{-4}$. No birefringence was observed above $220^{\circ}C$. An elevation of $T_d$ brought about a monotonous decrease in the attenuation of the fiber.
