Nufern Expands Telecom Fiber Portfolio - New fibers bolster existing family of telecom fibers.

February 24, 2004

EAST GRANBY, CT - Feb. 24, 2004 - Nufern, the leading independent manufacturer of fiber laser fiber laser modules 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, 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 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 used in CATV and telecom applications. Customers may also purchase all- fiber gain fiber laser modules 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.
