AB  - We have fabricated the first single-mode step-index and humidity insensitive 
      polymer optical fiber operating in the 850 nm wavelength ranges. The step-index 
      preform is fabricated using injection molding, which is an efficient method for 
      cost effective, flexible and fast preparation of the fiber preform. The 
      fabricated single-mode step-index (SI) polymer optical fiber (POF) has a 4.8microm 
      core made from TOPAS grade 5013S-04 with a glass transition temperature of 134 degrees C 
      and a 150 microm cladding made from ZEONEX grade 480R with a glass transition 
      temperature of 138 degrees C. The key advantages of the proposed SIPOF are low water 
      absorption, high operating temperature and chemical inertness to acids and bases 
      and many polar solvents as compared to the conventional poly-methyl-methacrylate 
      (PMMA) and polystyrene based POFs. In addition, the fiber Bragg grating writing 
      time is short compared to microstructured POFs.
