    Since the advent of optical waveguide technology, it has been widely applied in frontier fields such as optical communication, biomedicine, flexible electronics, and AR displays. The advancements in micro-nano optics and the exploration of new materials have promoted the diverse development of high-performance optical waveguides, which have the characteristics of miniaturization, low loss, flexibility, and biocompatibility. We follow the latest academic research progress, highlighting the innovative achievements of fiber optical waveguides, with a focus on bio-based fibers and other emerging optical waveguide functional fiber materials, such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE). The basic properties of these fiber materials are introduced, and their optical properties are discussed. The applications and potential of optical waveguides made from these functional materials in fields such as fiber optic sensing, biomedical monitoring and clinical treatment, and photonic devices are also presented. Finally, the current issues and future development of these fiber optical waveguides are briefly summarized.
