Abstract
This patent application relates to the use of thin high temperature fibers, specifically optical fibers, for use as a substrate material in the fabrication of long-length low temperature superconducting and high temperature superconducting wire. The superconducting material is deposited on the fiber using either a thin or thick film deposition technique. The fiber can have a dual use in the transmission of data using either traditional optical means or the transmission of electrical current via the deposited superconductor. A buffer layer or layers is used between the high temperature fiber and the superconductor to promote grain alignment and enhance the current carrying capacity of the wire.
