Abstract

Microgravity reduces crystallization of ZBLAN in microgravity which will make for a lower optical fiber. Relevant data from previous studies and further look at present studies concentrating on electrostatic levitation of ZBLAN which will help elucidate the mechanism for reduction o crystallization.
