Production of Quartz Light Guides with an Elliptical Cross-Section Using CO2 Laser

Two principles of producing quartz light guides with an elliptical section using the radiation of CO2 laser are described. The possibility of deformation of quartz preforms in the course of drawing quartz light guides is demonstrated. The process of manufacture of two types of elliptical quartz ligh...
