What Does FPM Stand For?
FPM stands for Fiber Pulling In Microgravity
FPM, or Fiber Pulling In Microgravity, refers to the process of manufacturing optical fibers in a microgravity environment. This technique leverages the unique conditions of reduced gravitational forces to enhance the quality and performance of fiber optics. By minimizing the effects of gravitational settling and buoyancy-driven convection, FPM aims to produce fibers with improved structural integrity, uniformity, and optical properties, facilitating advancements in telecommunications and other high-tech applications.
