Frequently Asked Questions

The properties of SQ Fused Silica Rods for fiber optics include absence of inclusions and bubbles, high OH/H2 content, excellent UV transmittance, very low fluorescence, high laser durability, low residual stress, very low thermal expansion coefficient, and high thermal stability.

The different types of fused silica rods include SQ Fused Silica Rods made of undoped silica with high OH content, j-plasil Fused Silica Rods made of undoped silica with low OH content, and special dopings such as Boron-doped fused silica rods.

The features of SQ Fused Silica Rods include the design and production of preforms, process-controlled manufacturing of optical high-power fibers, and optimum transmission properties in the UV/VIS range with highest laser durability.

SQ Fused Silica Rods are used for efficient manufacturing of optical components such as lenses, mirrors, and plates, as well as for the production of special preforms.

Boron-doped fused silica rods, also known as BDSR, are used for the production of polarization maintaining (PM) fibers in the Panda design.
