CO2 laser-induced directional recrystallization to produce single crystal silicon-core optical fibers with low loss

CO2 laser-induced directional recrystallization to produce single crystal silicon-core optical fibers with low loss
CO2 laser-induced directional recrystallization to produce single crystal silicon-core optical fibers with low loss
Reduced losses in silicon-core fibers are obtained using CO2 laser directional recrystallization of the core. Single crystals with aspect ratios up to 1500:1 are reported, limited by the scan range of the equipment. This processing technique holds promise for bringing crystalline silicon-core fibers to a central role in nonlinear optics and signal processing applications.

Abstract

Reduced losses in silicon-core fibers are obtained using CO2 laser directional recrystallization of the core. Single crystals with aspect ratios up to 1500:1 are reported, limited by the scan range of the equipment. This processing technique holds promise for bringing crystalline silicon-core fibers to a central role in nonlinear optics and signal processing applications.
