Abstract
Laser floating zone processing methods are particularly suitable for s tudying crystal growth and the development of texture from the melt in many materials used in electrooptics, for example. A system is descri bed that allows different laser wave lengths to be used, and first res ults on BSCCO superconducting fibers processed using different lasers are presented. The Figure compares textures produced using Nd:YAG and CO2 lasers.
