Abstract
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for cutting a plastic optical fiber having a cladding layer. The method includes a plurality of cutting steps for performing rough cutting under a rough cutting condition and finish cutting under a controlled cutting condition. With this method, since a load applied to an optical fiber upon cutting is reduced, degradation of transmission characteristics of the optical fiber after cutting can be reduced.
