Abstract: An investigation was made of the temperature dependences of the transmission characteristics of largeaperture quartz glass–polymer fiber waveguides. The numerical aperture and the transmission losses were determined for fibers with a core made of fused quartz and a silieone cladding when temperature was varied in the range from -60 to +30 degree C. The investigated fibers could not be used in systems which might experience temperatures below -30 degree C because of the very strong rise of the losses resulting from a reduction in the numerical aperture of the waveguide.
