This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.It is recommended to name the SVG file “Si ZBLAN comparison.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This graph image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.

Summary
| Description |
English: Experimental attenuation curve of low loss multimode silica (Thorlabs, blue line) and ZBLAN (Le Verre Fluoré, red line) optical fibers. Arrows highlight the four orders of magnitude improvement of silica single mode optical fiber attenuation over four decades: 1000 dB/km in 1965 down to 0.18 dB/km (theoretical limit) in 2002. By comparison, ZBLAN optical fibers current attenuation is ~1 dB/km and can still be reduced three orders of magnitude to an estimated theoretical best about ~6.4⋅10−3 dB/km (red diamond).
