Material
Germanium-doped fibre optic glass
Also known as fiber optic glass
Fibre optic glass whose manufacture consumes germanium dioxide and germanium tetrachloride, used for data networking and telecommunication as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. An advanced material: what matters is the optical behaviour of the finished glass, which germanium content alone does not establish.
