This research reports an advancement in splicing silica glass fiber to sapphire single-crystal optical fiber (SCF) using a specialized glass processing device, including data that demonstrate the thermal stability of the splice to 1000°C. A filament heating process was used to produce a robust splice between the dissimilar fibers. A femtosecond laser is used to inscribe a fiber Bragg gratings sensor into the SCF to measure the high-temperature capabilities and signal attenuation characteristics of the splice joint. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed splicing method produces a splice joint that is robust, stable, repeatable, and withstands temperatures up to 1000°C with a low attenuation of 0.5 dB. The proposed method allows placement of SCF-based sensors in the extreme environments encountered in various engineering fields, such as nuclear, chemical, aviation, and metals manufacturing, to enable improvements in process monitoring, product quality, and production efficiency.
