We design, manufacture and market photonic crystal fibers. Photonic crystal fibers are a new range of optical fibers characterize by a micro-scale structure extending along the length of the fibers.

Advantages of the technology include pure silica core fibers and numerous novel properties. The technology provides a large design flexibility, which can be utilized for a large range of specialty fibers.

Crystal Fibre is committed to development of the fiber technology, working in close collaboration with our customers on supporting their applications.
