Instrumentation for Research and Research-Related Education on the Fabrication of Advanced Optical Fibers for DoD-relevant Research

Abstract

The proposed research instrumentation will allow for greatly enhanced scope and efficiency of the ongoing programs, which have many important Air Force applications. The objective of this research instrumentation is to provide for the enhancement and augmentation of ongoing research in the area of. Research instrumentation will be procured to enhance and augment ongoing programs in optical fiber device research. The funding will allow purchase of a components for an optical fiber draw tower, which will allow growth of novel optical fibers for high power lasers and numerous other novel optical devices and systems, including micro-structured and polarization maintaining double clad fibers.
