Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of manufacturing a graded index plastic optical fiber having an index that varies continuously between the center and the periphery of the fiber, from at least one polymer P and at least one reactive diluent D1 to allow the refractive index of said fiber to be varied. Said polymer P is a terpolymer comprising at least three repeating units P1, P2 and P3 with the following general formulae:
