As one of the oldest manufactured materials know
to man, the popularity of glass is still assured
as it forms part of the developing information
technology industry. Glass Technology Services
have recently developed passive signal splitter
devices for the newly emerging Photonics industry.
This
is just one of many innovations where glass has
been used. Today it can be found in the core and
cladding of optical fibres used to transmit data,
at the heart of many laser devices and in new
multiple wave length filters which increase the
volume of traffic ten times over.
