Abstract

We report on progress in fabrication of cladded rare earth doped single crystal fiber. Crystalline core fabrication, cladding compositions and cladding fabrication are discussed with the end goal of facilitating of splicing and integration into laser systems. Progress in splicing single crystal fiber to silica fiber with low loss will be reported.
