“…Their small dimensions and rapid growth process make SCFs very interesting for applications in low cost compact solid state devices. However, high optical quality SCF devices must be devoid of diameter fluctuations, which are responsible for light scattering at the fiber/ambient interface 3 . Diameter fluctuations caused by the growth process must be considered as an intrinsic defect of the SCFs, since they are virtually impossible to be corrected afterwards.…”

We described an automatic diameter control system (ADC), for the laser heated pedestal growth technique, that reduces the diameter fluctuations in oxide fibers grown from unreacted and nonsinterized pedestals, to less than 2% of the average fiber diameter, and diminishes the average diameter fluctuation, over the entire length of the fiber, to less than 1%. The ADC apparatus is based on an artificial vision system that controls the pulling speed and the height of the molten zone within a precision of 30 µm. We also show that this system can be used for periodic in situ axial doping the fiber. Pure and Cr 3+ doped LaAlO 3 and pure LiNbO 3 were used as model materials.
