Abstract

This paper describes conditions for embedding optical fibers into the super hybrid plate without losing its optical communication function, and describes also the mechanical properties of the optical fiber embedded super hybrid material and transmission characteristics of this new material. Mechanical properties of this new material made under optimum conditions were investigated in detail by experimental and FEM analyses. Reactions of the embedded optical fiber were investigated when such external forces as tension, compression and bending were applied on this new material and the mechanisms of generation of transmission loss were also made clear.
