Abstract
The growth of single-crystal optical fibers offers the opportunity to make linear and nonlinear optical devices which are not possible in glass. For example, sapphire fibers could be used in hostile environments where glass could not survive, and waveguide nonlinear and electrooptic devices could be made which may couple better to glass fibers than slab waveguide-integrated optics devices.
