Abstract

A plastic light-transmitting fiber having a core-sheath structure. A polymer having methacrylimide or N-substituted methacrylimide units is used for the core component. A polymer having a refractive index smaller by at least 1% than that of the polymer of the core component is used for the sheath component. The heat resistance of the light-transmitting fiber is highly improved.
