Abstract

A new kind of SCF (Single Crystal Fiber), Y-ZrO₂ (Y₂O₃ stabilized ZrO₂) SCF has been provided to substitute for Al₂O₃ SCF in high-temperature optic sensors, comparing for Al₂O₃ SCF, it has a higher melting point which can enable sensors to be operated at a higher temperature (> 2000 degree(s)C). In this paper, Y-ZrO₂ SCF is grown by means of Laser Heated Pedestal Growth method, its growth and optical characteristics have been studied, fibers with diameters of 300 - 500 micrometers and lengths of 100 - 250 mm have been obtained. Experimental results show that these Y-ZrO₂ SCFs can be possibly used in high-temperature optic sensors.
