Innovative Fiber Optics...Every Step of the Way™
At CeramOptec, we are committed to excellence. By maintaining complete
control over the entire production process—from the manufacture of our
fiber optic preforms to the finished fiber product—we bring the highest quality
control, innovative solutions, and competitive pricing to our customers.
As the only specialty fiber optic manufacturer to make its own preforms,
CeramOptec takes pride in its comprehensive production process—every step
of the way. Using our patented PCVD process, we produce high-grade specialty
fibers with a wide range of profiles and dopands, numerical apertures from
0.12 to 0.66, and high radiation resistance levels. Next, we draw the fiber on
our own draw towers and spool it, simultaneously testing for strength and tolerance specifications. Finally, we manufacture and assemble the fiber optic
bundles and assemblies, ensuring customers the finest transmission, highest
temperature capability, and widest range of numerical apertures.
CeramOptec—The Global Leader in Specialty Fiber Optics
Manufacturing great products alone does not make a leader. At CeramOptec,
we have made a sincere commitment to high quality service and support as
well as ongoing product and market research. We are dedicated to employing
and developing the industry’s most knowledgeable global team of scientists,
engineers, and quality control specialists—as well as sales, marketing, and
customer service professionals.
CeramOptec has emerged as the industry leader thanks to our extraordinary
employees and our extraordinary products—providing unmatched
service, innovative solutions, and years of experience.
Breaking Down Barriers Across the Spectrum
Optical fibers are the guiding light of laser and light sensing systems. Without
them, we would not be able to manufacture computer chips, monitor aircraft
engines, or perform minimally invasive laser surgery.
CeramOptec offers a comprehensive line of high quality fiber assemblies,
bundles, and fused-end bundles that exhibit exceptional temperature capabilities,
power handling, and transmission values. We manufacture stock and custom
silica/silica, plastic-clad silica, hard polymer-clad silica optical fibers; and low
loss bundles and assemblies for UV, VIS and IR transmission, medical laser
delivery, sensors, plasma fusion, and spectroscopy.

The only specialty fiber optics company
to make its own preforms, CeramOptec
adheres to the most stringent quality
parameters every step of the way—
setting the standards for quality, cost,
and performance. Our innovative fibers
are drawn from the tallest draw tower
in North America, then spooled while
simultaneously testing for strength and
tolerance. By maintaining complete
control over the entire production
process—from preform manufacture
to finished fibers, bundles, and
assemblies—we provide superior
quality control, custom solutions, and
competitive pricing. And with several
facilities worldwide, we are able to
offer our customers local, prompt,
and reliable service.

CeramOptec has spent nearly
two decades advancing the field
of specialty optical fibers.
Our fibers are the guiding
light of lasers and are used in
spacecraft sensing and
controls, particle detection,
and nuclear physics.
Many applications, from chemical
analysis and remote illumination to
laser surgery and photodynamic
therapy (PDT) require CeramOptec’s
precise fiber optics—which provide
improved wavelength accuracy, a
wide range of numerical apertures
for just the right light, and limitless
core/clad relationships.
