Patent ·
OSTI ID:6433725
Method is described for making a superconducting structure for confining or guiding electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths in the range of approximately 10 micrometers to 1 centimeter, said structure having surfaces exposed to the radiation and said surface being covered with ceramic superconducting materials having critical temperatures greater than 35 degrees Kelvin, comprising: growing the ceramic superconducting materials on a tube of soluble material by sputtering the materials on the tube; depositing structural material on the superconducting materials; and dissolving the tube material.
