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:

• With our purified and coated specialties

Strict control of the thermal process gradient

• With our high temperature thermal insulation.

Mersen equips optical fiber draw furnaces in keeping with purity, cleanliness and oxidation resistance requirements:
 

• Iso graphite
• Rigid and soft felts
