PHOTONIC RAW MATERIALS

MARKETS & APPLICATIONS

Our photonic raw materials (fused silica, rods, preforms) are foundational to many high-tech industries. Primarily, we supply to fiber optic manufacturers and high-precision optics companies that require top-quality base materials. These raw materials are used in the fabrication of specialty optical fibers (e.g., for spectroscopy or high-power lasers) and in making optical components like lenses, mirrors, and wafers for semiconductor equipment. For instance, our ultrapure fused silica rods are crucial in the production of polarization-maintaining fibers for aerospace and defense systems. Preforms from WEINERT serve as the starting point for fibers used in telecommunications networks, industrial fiber lasers, and medical devices.

PHOTONIC RAW MATERIALS DIVISION

Ultrapure Fused Silica

High-purity synthetic quartz glass used as the base material for optical preforms and high-end optics. Our fused silica (e.g..
SQ-grade) features exceptional UV transparency and minimal defects. It is available in bulk form (boules) or shaped into…

Fused Silica Rods

Solid glass rods drawn from fused a, offered in various diameters (typically 20-70 mm) and lengths (300-1100 mm).
These rods boast high homogeneity and low OH (hydroxyl) content options. They serve as feedstock for fiber preform…

Preforms

The large-diameter “templates” for fiber drawing. We produce optical fiber preforms with customized index profiles (e.g.. step-index, graded-index) and dopants (such as Ge doped cores for specialty fibers). High-quality preforms from

Capillaries and Tubes

Hollow Fused silica tubes and capillaries (small inner diameter tubes) for specially fiber fabrication and medical applications These are used, for example, to create photonic crystal fiber structures or as ferrules and housings in medical liber probes…
