Summary:

We present a new approach for producing elastomeric optical fibers with an optical behaviour corresponding to a few-mode optical fiber. Different fibers have been produced by first fabricating thermoplastic polyurethane preforms and subsequently drawing them. The fiber attenuation has been measured by the cut-back technique and the fiber bending transmission tolerance evaluated. The fiber potential has been assessed through two basic experiments in order to highlight the benefits of elasticity and a reduced core diameter. Future potential of the proposed fiber is discussed and shows a very auspicious path towards new and unexplored applications.
