Abstract

The properties of polycrystalline optical fibers produced by extruding crystals of AgCl1−x Brx (x = 0.5–0.8) solid solutions are studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, microstructural analysis, and x-ray microanalysis. The results demonstrate for the first time that the arrangement of polycrystalline regions and recrystallized single-crystal blocks 0.03-–0.10 and 2–5 µm in size, respectively, possesses three- or fourfold symmetry or a mirror plane m, depending on the crystallographic orientation of the parent crystal (cubic symmetry). The effect of the structural properties of the parent crystal on the properties of the fibers is discussed.
