Abstract
Fibres of a-axis lithium niobate, grown by the laser heated miniature pedestal growth method, were heat treated to produce radial extraordin ary refractive index gradients by out-diffusion of lithium oxide. Info rmation on the resulting refractive index profiles was obtained by bot h longitudinal refraction and Fresnel reflection from an end face. Pot ential applications of GRIN crystal fibres are discussed. (C) 1998 Els evier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
