Evaluation of Single Crystal Sapphire Fibers for Medical Applications
Abstract
This contract is for the evaluation of sapphire fiber. During this initial reporting period FDA has identified and procured the essential polishing and examination equipment to evaluate sapphire fibers and has obtained much of the expertise necessary to fabricate these fibers. These fibers have been polished and their transmission has been measured from 300nm to 1 micron. The research objective is to evaluate for medical applications the sapphire fibers by determining transmission, optical breakdown resistance, and bending strength of sapphire fibers.
