Le Verre Fluoré was established in 1977 as a spin-off of
the discovery of fluoride glasses by Poulain
brothers at Rennes University in 1974. 40 years of continuous R&D effort lead to outstanding pioneering achievements:
LVF also produced the first fluoroindate glass fibers
(1992), the first single mode fluoride fibers, the first laser fibers, and the first
polarization maintaining fibers.
For fiber laser and
amplifier application, double clad fibers have been developed, with specific D-shaped
cores in order to optimize their efficiency. A variety of rare earth doped
fibers have been
manufactured, allowing numerous laser applications thanks to dozens of active transitions both in
