Times Fiber history
Times Fiber company history timeline
In 1951, Hogler Moeller applied for a Danish patent on fiber optic imaging in which he proposed cladding glass or plastic fibers with a low index, transparent material but was refused because of the Braid’s patent.
In 1954, Dutch scientist Abraham Van Heel and British scientist Harold H. Hopkins separately wrote papers on imaging bundles.
Also in 1954, the “maser” was developed by Charles Townes and his colleagues at Columbia University.
The laser was introduced in 1958 as a efficient source of light.
By 1960, glass-clad fibers had attenuation of about 1 decibel (dB) per meter, fine for medical imaging, but much too high for communications.
In 1960, the first continuously operating helium-neon gas laser is invented and tested.
In the summer of 1970, one team of researchers began experimenting with fused silica, a material capable of extreme purity with a high melting point and a low refractive index.
By June of 1972, Robert Maurer, Donald Keck, and Peter Schultz invented multimode germanium-doped fiber with a loss of 4 dB per kilometer and much greater strength than titanium-doped fiber.
The first non-experimental fiber-optic link was installed by the Dorset (UK) police in 1975.
In 1986, Emmanuel Desurvire invented the erbium-doped amplifier which reduced the cost of long-distance fiber systems.
Also in 1991, the photonic crystal fiber was developed.
The first all-optic fiber cable, TPC-5, that uses optical amplifiers was laid across the Pacific Ocean in 1996.
