    摘要: An apparatus for making a crystal pre-melt includes a hermetically-sealed muffle furnace made of a non-porous refractory material, at least one port for entry and exit of gaseous substance within the muffle furnace, a temperature-controlled zone defined inside the muffle furnace, and a crucible for holding crystal raw material in solid or molten form inside the muffle furnace. The crystal pre-melt is made by disposing crystal raw material in loose powder, pressed powder, granular, or densified form in the temperature-controlled zone, heating the temperature-controlled zone to a treatment temperature that enables reaction between a fluorinating agent and oxides in the crystal raw material, reacting the fluorinating agent with the crystal raw material to produce volatile gases, removing the volatile gases from the muffle furnace, heating the crystal raw material to form a melt, and solidifying the melt to form the crystal pre-melt.

    摘要: A method of making crystals includes suspending a porous preform made of a crystal raw material in a hermetically-sealed chamber, heating the porous preform to a selected treatment temperature that enables reaction between a fluorinating agent and oxide impurities in the porous preform and reacting the fluorinating agent with the oxide impurities at the selected treatment temperature for a selected time period, filling a crucible in the hermetically-sealed chamber with a melt formed from at least a portion of the porous preform, and progressively moving the melt through a temperature gradient zone defined inside the hermetically-sealed chamber. An apparatus for making crystals includes a hermetically-sealed muffle furnace made of a non-porous refractory material, at least one port for entry and exit of gaseous substance within the muffle furnace, at least two temperature-controlled zones defined inside the muffle furnace, a crystal growth crucible disposed inside the muffle furnace, an actuator operable to translate the crucible along a length of the muffle furnace, and means for suspending a preform inside the muffle furnace.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a photonic crystal or photonic band gap optical fiber comprises providing a preform that includes a plurality of holes in an outer diameter, wherein the holes extend from a first end of a preform to a second end of the preform, and forming at least one radially inwardly-extending slot within the preform such that the slot intersects at least some of the holes, wherein the slot does not intersect at least one hole. The method also includes establishing a first pressure in the holes intersected by the slot by introducing the first pressure to the slot, and establishing a second pressure in the at least one hole not intersected by the slot by introducing the second pressure to an end of the at least one hole not intersected by the slot. The method further includes drawing the preform into a fiber while independently controlling the first and second pressures.
