Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterize the structure of glas s fibers with diameters as small as 3 mu m. A special sample holder, w hich enables the laser beam to strike the transverse surface of the fi ber bundles and to probe structural variations along the longitudinal direction, was designed. Structural variations in multi-component sili cate glass fibers were studied as a function of fiber drawing conditio ns and different annealing temperatures.
