Research
We have undertaken a number of contract research projects for customers.
We have particular expertise in the following areas.
- Low birefringence fiber
- Spun fiber
- High temperature fibers
- Tapered fibers
- Radiation resistant fibers
- Doped tapered fibers for fiber lasers
Low birefringence fiber
We have been manufacturing these types of fibers for over 12 years. Customers can confidently request us to undertake research into any aspect of these fibers both manufacturing and application of fibers.
Spun fibers
This type of fiber is unusual in that a high birefringence perform is spun during fiber drawing to create a unique type of low birefringence fiber.
High temperature fibers
We have developed a range of high temperature metal-coated fibers. Further development of these fibers is certainly possible.
Radiation resistant fibers
We have developed both singlemode and multimode radiation resistant fibers.
Specialised tapered fibers
This is our newest area of our own research program. It is expected to yield novel new types of high power fiber lasers with good beam quality and simple drive requirements.
