👉 Solgel is a type of material that can be used in optical fibers. It is made by mixing two materials, typically glass and silica, together to create a new material with unique properties. The main components of a solgel are: - Glass (a type of crystal) - Silica (a mineral that can absorb light) - Solvents Solgels have been used in optical fibers for many years because they offer exceptional performance characteristics. They are resistant to heat and can withstand high pressure
