AB  - The interaction between the X-ray beam and the scintillating core of the optical fiber creates photons. The generated photons propagate through the fiber until the fiber end where they are captured by a solid state photon sensitive detector. This very sensitive detector converts generated photons into a low-level electronic signal that is amplified for later processing. For industrial, medical domains or for detection of contraband objects in custom control, flexible detectors can be built using 1 mm plastic scintillating optical fiber. The paper presents aspects related to the influencing factors of the optical fiber polishing process. Experiments related to the influencing factors of optical fiber polishing were performed. The results related to the influencing factors for cutting the optical fiber are presented. A proposal for plastic fiber cutting tool was given. The results related to factor of influence for polishing of plastic scintillating fiber were presented. In conclusion a possible technology for plastic scintillating fiber with 1 mm diameter is described.
