Deuterated Reagents for Optoelectronics

Fiber Optics

Optical Fibers

Optical fibers are used extensively when transmitting data over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than traditional copper cables. However, in an internet-driven world hungry for data, it is crucial to achieve data transmission in the Gbps range. Traditional glass or plastic optical fibers have limited speeds due to the water peak absorption between 1360 nm and 1460 nm. Replacing the hydrogen with deuterium in the material now makes it possible to reach much higher speeds compatible with today's demands.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What do I do if I need multiple vials or carboys when returning D2O for the D2O Recovery Program?

If you have more than ~16 L you may require multiple carboys, please just ask. 

When returning D2O for the D2O Recovery Program should I fill the carboy to the top?

No! Fill the bulk carboy container ~80% full. Most are shipped by FedEx Air, and if full, the carboy is likely to expand and possibly rupture the container.
