Abstract
To produce a graded index polymer there is diffused into a base material formed of at least one partly polymerized monomer adapted to yield a homopolymer with refractive index N1 in the gel state an additive material formed of at least one monomer adapted to yield a homopolymer with refractive index N2 different from N1. The polymerization of the base material treated in this way is then completed. The additive material comprises a mixture of at least two monomers and the composition of this mixture is varied with time.
