Original Abstract

The development of optomechanical composites, based on glass matrices reinforced with continuous oxide fibre bundles (Nextel) or filaments (sapphire) is described. Small decreases in light transmittance (up to approximately 20%) upon introduction of fibres indicated that the composites are promising materials for use in optomechanical applications, where high transparency or translucency is required, in addition to improved fracture resistance.
