Industry developments indicate the call out for easy interfacing of new planar waveguide (PWG) technology with existing fiber infrastructures. Planar Waveguide Fiber is an excellent bridge fiber between high planar waveguides and low transmission fiber. This fiber allows outstanding optical coupling with planar waveguides. In addition, the composition of PWG1-HP is tailored to thermally expand the core during splicing and thus achieve low splice loss to transmission fibers.
