Novel Aerosol Techniques for Glass and Ceramic Formation. (Reannouncement withNew Availability Information)

摘要

A Laboratory for Lightwave Technology has been established within the Division ofEngineering at Brown University. The four components of this laboratory are: (1) an MCVD (Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition) facility with the capability of producing optical fiber preforms for novel fibers and fiber lasers, (2) an OVD (Outside Vapor Deposition) facility donated by AT and T for the fabrication of GRIN lenses and novel 'soft glass' fibers for the enhancement of non-linear effects, (3) an 8 m optical fiber draw tower with two coating stages, and (4) a fiber characterization laboratory with a York technology FCM 1000 fiber characterization station (donated by Bellcore), a York Technology preform analyzer, and a computer controlled fused taper coupler station station (donated by the Polaroid Corporation). In addition there is an argon ion laser, a Ti-Sapphire laser, and ANDO spectrum analyzer for fiber laser characterization studies, and an Electro-Optics picosecond Optical Time Domain Reflectometer.
