ABSTRACT:
A core-clad plastic optical fiber is described, comprising a polyglutarimide series polymer having a polymeric structural unit represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aromatic group and n represents a positive integer,
having a thermal deformation temperture of at least 120.degree. C. as a core, and an organic polymer having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the core as a clad layer, said plastic optical fiber having the characteristic that the light transmission loss measured at 655 nm is not more than 500 dB/km.
