YVO4 is a new birefringent crystal for fiber optics. YVO4 is an ideal material for optical polarizing components, such as fiber optic isolators, beam displacers, circulators, etc because of its wide transparency range and large birefringence. Its medium hardness renders it particularly amenable to high quality polish and optical finish with ease.

MTI Corporation has set up a joint venture with Anhui Optics Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Science, KMT Co. Ltd. located in Hefei, China, and has been producing high quality, low cost YVO4 single crystals and related components since 1997. Depending on customer's choice, we can supply crystal boules (up to 30 mm dia x 35 mm length), as-cut blocks or polished components with or without AR coating.

MTI concentrates on crystal business only and has no intention to manufacture fiber optical devices in competition with any of its customers. Therefore MTI is your reliable long-term partner in fiber optics industries.
