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.
Some aspects to consider before buying fiber preforms: availability of different designs, material quality, dopant uniformity, compatibility with drawing processes.
