Ceramic coatings for silica and sapphire optical waveguides for high temperature embedding and sensing
Glass, sapphire and polymer fibers transparent to visible and infrared electromagnetic frequencies are extensively used in communication and sensing. The lifetimes of these waveguides are extended considerably by suitably coating them. Plastic coated silica waveguides are gradually replacing metal c...
