Sapphire-Derived All-Glass Optical Fibers

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

If we could eliminate the phenomenon of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), we could create pulsed laser sources for spectroscopic and coherent lidar applications, as well as multi-kW narrow-linewidth fiber laser sources for coherently phased laser arrays. With that in mind, we used a novel fiber fabrication method known as the moltencore method to realize a new class of optical fibers: all-glass optical fibers free from the effects of SBS.
