Optical fiber
Optical fiber is a key technology enabling to meet the increasing capacity of modern communication networks.
After decades of improvements in the field of optical material purity and composition, manufacturers have reduced signal attenuation level, down far below standard communication medium like copper. This was a milestone for the development of modern communication highways.
Optical fiber production
Mersen has developed dedicated process solutions with most of the optical fiber manufacturers, answering their requirements.
High material purity:
