Abstract

emulsion intrinsic sensors perturbation sapphire sinusoidal waveguides
A novel sapphire optical waveguide has been developed for high temperature applications. A single crystal optical grade sapphire fiber was coated with two layers of alumina and SiC in order to construct an optical waveguide. Optomechanical tests were performed in order to examine the fiber response to external stresses. In this paper, the optical response of sapphire fibers to microbending is briefly presented and the development of a processing methodology to embed these optical fibers in alumina matrix is reported. Several coupons were successfully fabricated and examined by thermal cycling tests.
