Buying Fiber Preforms

Top-level product category: fiber optics

Related product category: fibers

Optical fibers are usually drawn from preforms. Some suppliers offer the production of custom preforms for passive or active fibers, having different refractive index profiles, laser-active dopants, and other specific characteristics. These preforms are the starting materials for fabricating high-quality optical fibers.
