Recently, certain materials have attracted attention for a new generation of high speed, efficient, multi-functional optical devices. Among these materials, small-diameter and long-length bulk crystals are of considerable interest for miniaturization and high efficiency. In particular, rod or fiber-like micro-single crystals have already received attention as attractive materials for a variety of electro-optical application, such as second harmonic generation (SHG), micro-laser sources or optical memory arrangements because of their extended interaction length and high optical intensity.
