Laser Physics and Laser Spectroscopy
Abstract
The research proposal for this program emphasized the production of single-crystal fiber optical devices. Results are reported in the growth, processing, and characterization of single-crystal fibers, which have led to significant demonstrations of fiber laser and nonlinear optical devices. Theoretical work originally undertaked to model fiber materials and device behavior has contributed to the development of the more general concept of tailored nonlinear media. This concept, and the materials work toward understanding fiber device processing, resulted in the development of new non- linear materials, through the modification of existing materials or through microscopic control of material structure during growth.
