Most fiber optics you see are made of regular glass. That’s fine for internet cables.

But quartz fiber is different. It’s made from high-purity fused silica. Same thing? No. It performs better in several ways.

 

What makes quartz fiber better?

First, it handles heat well – up to 200°C or more, depending on the coating. Regular glass fibers can’t take that.

Second, it transmits light more efficiently, especially in UV and near-infrared ranges. That’s why labs use it for spectroscopy.

Third, it’s tougher – more resistant to scratches and bending.

 

Where is quartz fiber used?

  • Medical devices – laser surgery, endoscopy. Needs clean, high-power light without overheating.

  • Industrial sensing – high-temperature environments where electronic sensors fail.

  • Lab instruments – spectroscopy, because quartz covers a wide wavelength range.

  • Aerospace & defense – reliability under extreme conditions.

 

Can you get custom quartz fiber assemblies?

Almost always. Off-the-shelf rarely fits.

You can customize:

  • Length (centimeters to meters)

  • Connector type (SMA905, FC, SC, LC, or custom)

  • Core diameter (100µm to 2mm)

  • Shape (single, bundle, bifurcated, linear, ring)

 

Why Hecho Technology?

At Nanjing Hecho Technology Co., Ltd., we make our own quartz fibers. That means we control quality from the start – not just assembly. We also do OEM and custom manufacturing for industrial, medical, and research clients worldwide.

100% tested. Fully traceable. Made to your specs.
