Translated from French
From glass design to fiber drawing, we manufacture fibers whose composition, geometry, and light guiding match your application.
This service
Our teams oversee the complete process: glass design, preform synthesis by MCVD, and drawing on our two draw towers, one dedicated to silica and the other to specialty glasses and polymers. The COPL is home to the first academic laboratory in Canada to manufacture glass optical fiber preforms and fibers. We have drawn multi-material, graded-index, multicore, microstructured, suspended-core, and microfluidic fibers, as well as THz and solar fibers.
Describe the fiber you need: we will assess its feasibility with you. Discover our laboratory in the video Optical Fiber Design and Fabrication.

Shared research facility offering instruments, services and expertise.
