Cladding of a crystal fiber by high-energy ion implantation.
The feasibility of using a multi-MeV He(+)-ion beam to convert the outer portion of a crystal fiber into cladding is demonstrated. When applied to a-axis LiNbO(3) fiber, the resulting structure has been found to show good waveguiding characteristics.
