GeCl4
is used as a doping agent in the core of a silica glass optical fibre
to increase the refraction index, allowing guidance of optical data through
the fibre. To support optimal transmission a high purity GeCl4 is critical.
Low concentrations of hydrogen bonds and metallic impurities are our standard
As the transmission medium for the future, the optical fibre industry is
a fast grower; the backbone of the "Information Superhighway", today is
the main consumer of GeCl4.
