Abstract
A polymer optical fibre (POF) () for transmitting light of wavelength, λi, between two separate elements of an active implantable medical device (AIMD), includes a core () which is cylindrical and made of a cyclic olefin polymer (COP) or copolymer (COC), having a core refractive index at the wavelength, λi, n_core, A cladding () which has a cladding refractive index at the wavelength, λi, n_clad<n_core, and which is made of a cladding copolymer including monomers of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride. The cladding being itself enclosed in a coating () which is made of a coating polymer formed of one of the monomers of the cladding copolymer. The POF has a numerical aperture, NA, at the wavelength, λi, of at least 0.5.
