Frank; Friends in the fiber world tell me that LUMM was/is a struggling POF provider, and a low quality one at that. Buyer Beware!

The question that I am trying to answer for myself is whether: (1) LUMM's process is singly confined to the creation of components that can only handle the wavelengths in the plastic optical fiber space, or, (2) does the process create components that can handle glass fiber lightwaves? (note: I am trying to come up to speed on this technology, maybe the term "transmission characteristics" may be more appropriate than "lightwaves") So far, I can't really find a clear answer to this. Some related sources appear to hint at the first option: Message 10412493 A reference that might answer the question: LUMM patent 2218273 at site patents1.ic.gc.ca page 18 titled "propogation loss" provides a description of wavelengths that pass through the components created by the process. Can someone settle this question once and for all? Leon
