Abstract

The invention provides a polyurethane type polymeric material for coating optical fibers, based on a fluorinated diol with formula I:CnF2n+1—A—CH2OCH2—C (CH2OH)2—Rwhere n is 2 to 20, and A signifies —CH═CH or —CH2CH2—, and R is an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The invention also provides a fiber coated with this polymer which has been light-cured, and a fiber drawing method comprising a step of coating the fiber with a material of the invention.
