Nufern Expands Telecom Fiber Portfolio; New Fibers Bolster Existing Family of Telecom Fibers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OFC OFC Office OFC Officer OFC Of Course OFC Oxygen Free Copper OFC Oceania Football Confederation (soccer) OFC Optical Fiber Cable OFC Optical Fiber Communications OFC Optical Fiber Conference 2004 Booth #2041 EAST GRANBY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2004 Nufern, the leading independent manufacturer of fiber laser sub-assemblies and specialty optical fibers, reaffirms its commitment to the telecommunications industry with the introduction of three new fibers: an Erbium-doped polarization maintaining (PM) fiber, an Erbium-Ytterbium (Er-Yb) double-clad fiber In fiber optics, a double-clad fiber (or doubly clad fiber) is an optical fiber that has a relatively small-diameter core and two layers of large-diameter cladding. , and a 1300 nm PM fiber. These fibers further distinguish Nufern's line of telecom fibers from its competition by bolstering its portfolio of more than 40 standard fibers for telecom applications. "These new fibers demonstrate our continued commitment to the telecommunications industry and exemplify our tradition of always pushing ourselves for technological innovation," said Vinnie Rodino, Nufern's vice president of sales. -- The Panda-style PM Erbium-doped fiber enables the development of next-generation PM amplifiers and short-pulse lasers. The high dopant dopant Any impurity added to a semiconductor to modify its electrical conductivity. The most common semiconductors, silicon and germanium, form crystalline lattices in which each atom shares electrons with four neighbours (see bonding). concentration allows short fiber lengths beneficial for managing dispersion. -- First in a new series from Nufern is a special co-doped Erbium-Ytterbium fiber for high power amplifiers Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. used in CATV (Community Antenna TV) The original name for cable TV. It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference. and telecom applications. Customers may also purchase all- fiber gain sub-assemblies based on this fiber. -- The Nufern PM 1300 nm fiber further builds upon the existing family of PM fibers specifically engineered for the telecommunications market. About Nufern Nufern designs, manufactures, sells and supports fiber intensive sub-assemblies and specialty optical fibers for a diverse range of industries.
