Approaches to mitigate polymer-core loss in plastic optical fibers: a review by Ioannides, Nicholas, Chunga, E. B., Bachmatiuk, A., Gonzalez-Martinez, I. G., Trzebicka, B., Adebimpe, D. B., Kalymnios, Demetri, Rümmeli, Mark H.

“…This kept them as a specialty fiber for illumination, sensing and low speed short data links. However, continued research and development on the core materials used in POFs are improving their performance significantly as we are now able to manufacture POFs with low transmission loss, high temperature resistance and stable bandwidth over distance. …”

Transnational entrepreneurship amongst Vietnamese businesses in London by Bagwell, Sue

“…In contrast this study suggests that transnational entrepreneurship today is more fluid than previous studies have suggested and is often characterised by multi-polar (rather than bi-polar) links. Travel is also less relevant in the current age of ‘super-connectivity’. …”
