Fiber drawing from a 3D printed perform was recently discussed to go beyond the limitations of conventional optical fiber manufacturing in terms of structure and materials. In this work, the photosensitivity of silica optical fibers to femtosecond laser light, and fabricated by 3D printing a preform, is investigated. The writing kinetics and the thermal performance of Type II modifications are studied by varying the laser pulse energy and investigating the birefringence response of the femtosecond (fs)-laser written structures. Compared with a conventional telecom single mode fiber (SMF28), the fiber made by 3D printing is found to have similar writing kinetics and thermal performance. Additionally, the thermal stability of the imprinted fs-laser induced nanostructures is investigated based on the Rayleigh–Plesset equation, describing a model of nanopores dissolution underpinning Type II modifications with thermal annealing.

Ordered-alpha titanium alloys having a DO19 type structure have good potential for high temperature (600°C) applications, due to the thermal stability of the ordered phase and the inherent resistance to recrystallization of these alloys. Five different Ti-Al-Ga alloys consisting of equal atomic percents of aluminum and gallium solute additions up to the stoichiometric composition, Ti3(Al, Ga), were used to study the growth kinetics of the ordered phase and the nature of its interface.The alloys were homogenized in the beta region in a vacuum of about 5×10-7 torr, furnace cooled; reheated in air to 50°C below the alpha transus for hot working. The alloys were subsequently acid cleaned, annealed in vacuo, and cold rolled to about. 050 inch prior to additional homogenization
