Durable Glass Ceramic Ferrule For General Telecommunication Use

Glass ceramic ferrules composed of Si02-Al203-Li20-Mg0-Ti02-Zr02-K20-Zn0-Ba0 have been fabricated by a preform drawing process. These ferrules show good durability in hot and humid conditions and when immersed in water. A glass ceramic ferrule is the most suitable ferrule to realise low cost optical connectors for fibre to the home.
