Using the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD) process, glass rods, or preforms, of high-quality doped silica are created from which the fibers are then drawn. These fibers have losses below 0.40 ...

Abstract: Low-loss single- and multimode optical fibers were fabricated solely from pure fused silica. Their spectral losses corresponded closely to those of unclad fibers drawn from the same material ...

Side 1 is equipped with a graphite resistance furnace that is able to cover temperatures up to 2500ºC for drawing of silica fibres from preforms with diameters ranging from <5mm to 30mm. Side 2 comes ...
