Presented here is a review of recent efforts to date in the field of semiconductor core optical fibers. Various processing techniques have been employed to fabricate such fibers and control the degree of crystallinity achieved within the fiber cores. Following the brief review of recent progress is a more in-depth look at the molten core approach, which allows for long lengths of highly crystalline semiconductor core fibers to be achieved.
