Abstract
Summary from only given. High quality gradient index crystal fibers were successfully grown by the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG) technique. The distributed optical loss resulted mainly from the interface loss, which is estimated to be 0.3 cm/sup -1/. A laser output power of 80 mW was achieved with a slope efficiency of 28.9%.
