Abstract

Axially symmetric coatings of ZnO and PZT have been deposited onto fiber substrates by reactive dc magnetron sputtering. Multi-layer Cr/Au/ZnO/Cr/Au coating structures on optical fibers have been used to make integrated phase modulator devices. An analysis of the structural properties and piezoelectric response of the phase modulator devices will be presented. Microtubes of ZnO and Pt/ZnO/Pt multi-layers have been prepared by coating polyester fibers that act as a fugitive phase. After burning away the polyester fiber, up to 3 cm long micro-tubes with a 23 μm inside diameter and 3 to 9 μm wall thickness were obtained.
