ZBLAN Fibers: From Zero Gravity Tests to Orbital Manufacturing

Dmitry Starodubov, Shelly Mechery, David Miller, Chris Ulmer, Phil Willems, Jeff Ganley, and Dennis Tucker

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The experimental findings of low-loss ZBLAN optical fiber fabrication in zero gravity are presented. The mechanisms of the observed phenomena are discussed. We also review the potential opportunity and challenges of orbital manufacturing for ZBLAN optical fiber.
