University Maria Curie-Sklodowska – (UMCS) Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Optical Fibres Technology

The Maria Curie-Sklodowska University (UMCS) is situated in Lublin, in the eastern part of Poland and is consisted of 10 faculties. The Department of Optical Fibre Technology representing UMCS in PHOSFOS belongs to the Faculty of Chemistry. The optical fibre fabrication technology developed at UMCS was put into practice in the factory of optical fibres and cables built in Lublin. The production of the second generation fibres on an industrial scale started in 1983. The optical fibres research group received the State Award for the elaboration of Polish fibre technology. Currently research focuses on the technology of micro-structured and photonic crystal fibres.
