Abstract

A laser powered chemical vapor deposition process and apparatus for producing heterogeneous nucleation and sustained growth of films on substrates. The process is conducted at low laser intensities and high reactant pressures so as to operate in the thermal domain. Semiconductor films and fabrication of fiber optic waveguides are illustrated in the process.
