Eska™ Applications
Eska™ is the trade name for high performance plastic optical fiber that has been created, developed and refined by Mitsubishi Rayon since 1975. Through this extensive and ongoing effort, Eska™ has been able to produce plastic optical fiber products that are acknowledged as offering superb optical characteristics and the best mechanical properties in the industry.
Plastic optical fiber has a concentric double-layer structure with a high-purity polymethyl methacrylate (commonly known as PMMA or acrylic) core and a thin layer of specially selected transparent fluorine polymer cladding. The cladding has a lower refractive index than that of the core, so all light launched into the core will be trapped within and will be entirely reflected down the full length of the fiber. (see illustration below) Eska™ Fibers' overall product characteristics provide many advantages that should be considered when choosing POF.

When you consider these advantages in total, they decisively define Eska™ as the product line of choice for best overall systems performance, installation and cost.
We currently apply Eska™ within six broad based industry applications.
