Summary :

Application of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) materials, having a higher Young's modulus than usual plastic materials, to optical fiber jackets and unit central members has been investigated. Novel optical fiber units thus constructed are found to exhibit ultra low thermal expansion coefficient and no optical loss change within 6060 range. Zero thermal expansion coefficient can be achieved over the wide temperature range by suitable combination of LCP materials with high and medium Young's moduli.
