Description
LEONI, through its subsidiary j-fiber, offers high-purity fused silica preforms tailored to customer specifications for manufacturing high-performance optical fibers. These preforms serve as the foundation for applications requiring high data rates, precision sensing, and high-power laser transmission.
Available in step-index and graded-index designs, LEONI preforms can be doped with Germanium, Fluorine, Boron, or Rare-Earth elements to achieve specific numerical apertures and refractive index profiles. Production is achieved via MCVD for inner coatings and PBVD for large-core outer coatings, ensuring excellent homogeneity, minimal inclusions, and strict dimensional tolerances. Graded-index multimode preforms (50/125 and 62.5/125) support efficient data transmission, while fluorine-doped and germanium-doped step-index preforms enable UV-VIS-IR laser delivery, spectroscopy, and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) inscription.
Each preform undergoes rigorous quality monitoring for optical and geometrical performance, ensuring reliability from prototyping to mass production. LEONI preforms deliver outstanding stability, low attenuation, and high laser durability, making them ideal for telecom, medical, industrial, and research applications worldwide.
