Custom fiber is not about variation. It is about absolute control over performance.
Custom Production Runs
When standard fibers are not enough, custom fiber production becomes the only option. We specialize in manufacturing fully tailored optical fibers designed around your mechanical, thermal, optical, and environmental requirements.
From prototype validation to full-scale production, we deliver fibers that integrate seamlessly into advanced systems operating in high vacuum, extreme temperatures, chemically aggressive environments, and precision measurement platforms.
Every custom run is engineered, documented, and manufactured with complete dimensional, optical, and material control.
Precision Optical Fibers Built Around Your Application
Custom fiber production allows complete freedom over:
-
Coating materials and thickness
-
Fiber geometry and diameter
-
Core count and structure
-
Optical properties and tolerances
-
Mechanical strength and flexibility
-
Environmental resistance
We collaborate directly with your engineering team to translate functional requirements into production-ready fiber designs.
Why Custom Fiber Production Is Critical for Advanced Systems
Off-the-shelf fibers rarely meet the performance demands of high-precision applications. Custom fibers eliminate compromise by matching the fiber structure to your system architecture.
Ideal for:
Custom Geometry Engineering
We design fiber diameter, core structure, and coating architecture to match mechanical constraints and optical performance targets.
Certified Specialty
Fiber Manufacturing
All custom runs are produced under strict quality systems with optional certification,
inspection reports, and compatibility testing.
Engineered for Predictable Performance
Each production run is manufactured using digitally controlled drawing, coating, and inspection systems. This ensures consistency from prototype to volume scale.
Our approach guarantees:

FAQ’s
Yes. We provide optional certification packages including dimensional inspection, coating verification, vacuum compatibility testing, and optical characterization.
Typical development cycles range from weeks to a few months depending on complexity, coating selection, and testing requirements.
High vacuum systems, oil and gas sensing, medical devices, industrial automation, aerospace, and research instrumentation benefit the most from tailored fiber designs.
A custom production run is a fiber manufactured specifically to your mechanical, thermal, optical, and environmental requirements rather than standard catalog specifications.
We support small prototype quantities and scale seamlessly to volume production once your design is validated.
