Front cover image: Section of a 3D printed optical fibre preform.
The preform is a macroscopic version of the final fibre geometry.
Creating an optical fibre preform is the starting point in optical
fibre fabrication. The preform is a macroscopic version of the
final fibre design and typically could be 10-20 mm in diameter.
The preform is fed through a hot furnace and pulled to fibre form
with a thickness of about 1/10th of a millimetre; analogous to
the way that hot cheese strands on your pizza get thinner and
