PUNE, INDIA - Sterlite Optical Technologies Ltd., India’s only global provider and integrated manufacturer of optical fiber, announced in a Wednesday press release that it has been granted a patent by the Indian Patent Office for its invention of a novel Optical Fiber manufacturing process.
Patent No IN203463 - ‘Method for producing twisted optical fiber with reduced polarization mode dispersion’ was granted in November 2006 and is valid up to Year 2023. A total of four patents have been granted during the current fiscal year.
Deterioration of Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) of Optical Fibers constricts the system length of a network and imposes restrictions in the bit rate of high capacity systems. Additionally, it imposes restrictions of capacity in analog light-wave systems, where directly modulated semiconductor lasers are used.
Sterlite’s range of ‘Low PMD Optical Fibers’ enables network integrators to design high capacity and analog light-wave systems, especially popular in Long Haul and Metropolitan Networks.
“Our relentless focus on intellectual property has helped us establish our technology leadership in addition to the market leadership we already enjoy. Consumers can look forward to more innovations from Sterlite’s Technology Development Team, as optical fiber gets closer to homes,” COO – Optical Fiber Business, Sterlite Optical Technologies
Pankaj Khanna said.
