Content preview from Specialty Optical Fibers Handbook

the best optical-quality sapphire fibers have been grown by researchers using the

LHPG method [4, 5]. Optical-quality sapphire fibers have increased in popular-

ity over the years and, now, are used in various fields and applications such as

laser-power delivery probes and tips for surgical and treatment lasers; rugged

high-temperature thermometers for industrial applications; visible and infrared

(IR) transmitting waveguides for spectroscopy applications [6]; and high-

temperature–resistant sensing elements in optical fiber Fabry–Perot extrinsic

sensors and devices.

This chapter begins by describing the two most popular methods used to grow

single-crystal sapphire fiber: LHPG and the EFG. The positive and negative

aspects of each method are reviewed. ...
