Fiber Draw Synthesis

Not Accessible

Abstract

Traditional fiber-optic drawing involves a geometric scaling where the fiber materials and their relative position are both identical to those found in the fiber preform. To date, all thermally drawn fibers are limited to the preform composition and geometry. Recently we have demonstrated the ability to synthesize new compounds in situ during the fiber drawing process thus addressing one of the key limitations of this process. I will present progress and discuss the opportunities for extending the architecture and materials selection of fibers through fiber draw chemical synthesis.
