Using a combination of their Laser Heated Pedestal Growth and Sol-gel technologies, Shasta Crystals proposes to develop coilable true double-clad fully crystalline ytterbium or erbium-doped fibers as gain media for high-energy lasers for directed energy weapons. The U.S. Army desires to replace glass fibers with coilable single-crystal fibers of Yb:YAG or Er:YAG. The technical challenge is to synthesize a cladded flexible fiber with a core that will exhibit good waveguiding properties. This proposal presents our current state of the art and the work that we will perform in order to reach the target values and specifications of the desired fibers.
