摘要：

New direct measurement of high optical attenuation rates in polar bear hairs-2-8 dB/mm in the visible-and reanalysis of the data of Tributsch et al. [Sol. Energy Mater. 21, 219 (1990)] seem to rule out the UV waveguiding proposed by Grojean et al. [Appl. Opt. 19, 339 (1980)]. The case against fiber-optic polar bear hairs is summarized, and four conditions are given that any variation of the model of Grojean et al. would have to satisfy. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
