1000 periodic micrometric holes that can be made in a single fiber.
50 km = stretching ability 31 miles of a fiber.
1 billion = ratio between the diameter of the holes and the length of a fiber (the equivalent of the earth-moon distance for a Ø 30 cm / Ø11,8’’ hole).
3 methods of manufacturing high purity glass preforms : OVD, Sol-gel AND MCVD
2000 °C / 3632 °F = the working temperature of the glass.
3 complementary stretching towers :
- 4 m (10’’) : Drawing tower for fibers in low temperature glasses and in large Ø,
- 8 m (20’’) : Silica capillary stretching tower,
- 12 m (30,5’’) : Fiber drawing tower for conventional or microstructured silica fibers.
300 fiber stretchings per year.
