R&D Fiber Tower

Our home-made fiber drawing tower designed to produce specialty photonic band gap fibers. The tower’s unique capabilities allow us to enhance existing fiber technology and produce novel fiber technologies. The fully automized process control system delivers an accurate and smooth drawing method, which enables us to produce various photonic crystal fibers.
