The University of Southampton is a leading research–led university
Company Profile
The ORC was formed in 1989, but the history of this group extends even further. After the invention of the Laser in 1960, Southampton started work on this new device in 1961. In 1966, work on optical fibres began at the University to try to make long-distance light communication a practical reality.
The 'fibre tower' was created, that allowed fine control of how optical fibres were drawn, and fibres were created with losses of 1000db/km. At the time, this was an amazing result, but more was to come. While some of the pioneering communications labs across the world had dismissed silica...
