The objective of the "POF Selected Reprint Series" is to provide a low cost and up-to-date introduction into a specific area of "Plastic Optical Fibers". A major impediment to the development of the POF market has been the lack of awareness of POF components and subsystems by design engineers. Some of the typical questions being asked include:

• What components are available?
• Who makes the components?
• How are they used?
• What standards are available?
• What is the market for POF products?
• Who is using POF?

It is hoped that "POF Selected Reprint Series" will serve the purpose of providing information on POF components, design and application at a low cost. Information Gatekeepers, inc. has developed twenty-seven volumes covering a wide spectrum of subjects covering POF applications, technology, components, standards and others.
