Origin of high propagation loss in electrospun polymer nanofibers

We evaluate optical propagation loss (α) in electrospun poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofibers with different wavelength (λ) and determine the origin of the loss. Aligned single electrospun nanofibers composed of PMMA and a small amount of an organic dye are fabricated with an average diameter...
