We present the production process and characterization of a fluorescent functionalized elastomeric polymer optical fiber (E-POF) consisting of a covalently linked interface between fiber core and fiber cladding. This all silicone rubber E-POF shows increased temperature stability and can be used for sensing applications. Due to the sophisticated production process surface roughness of the interface of fiber core - fiber cladding are even lower than of the thermoplastic tubing template. Total fiber lengths can be extended by a "chemical splicing" technique, allowing individual tailoring of fibers while maintaining sufficient elasticity under applied mechanical stress.
