Specialty optical fiber is modified, usually by doping, for a specialized function. It consists of one or more transparent fibers enclosed in a protective covering. The core and cladding are typically grouped together and collectively called the optical fiber. Specialty optical fibers have various characteristics that suit a specialized application.

Specialty optical fibers play a critical role in many industries, particularly in telecommunications. They are replacing copper metal wire due to their many advantages. Specialty optical fibers are thinner than metal wire, lightweight, and non-flammable because no electricity is passed through them. The fibers are flexible and can be used in digital cameras for medical, mechanical, and investigative imaging. Specialty optical fibers can perform with low power, and have a higher carrying capacity than metal wires. Since optical fibers use light signals there is less signal degradation and the fibers can carry digital signals.
The specialty optical fibers products industry concentration is very high; there are about thirteen mainly manufacturers in the world, and the products mainly from Europe and North America.
Global giant manufactures mainly distributed in Europe. The manufacturers in Europe have a long history and unshakable status in this field. Manufacturers such as LEONI have relative higher level of product’s quality. As to Europe, LEONI has become as a global leader.
