  • Abstract
    An auxiliary sapphire tube serving as a heat capacitor was used in the co-drawing laser-heated pedestal growth system for fabricating small core crystal fibers. A factor of 3 improvement was achieved. Uniform 10-μm-core double-clad Cr4+:YAG crystal fibers were successfully fabricated as a result.
