Abstract:
1. A burner module, the burner module comprising: a. a body, wherein the body comprises a photo-cured polymer that is stable at temperatures greater than or equal to about 200 degrees Celsius and the photo-cured polymer comprises an acrylate or an epoxy resin; b. a plurality of inlets comprising at least one combustion gas inlet, at least one oxidizer inlet, optionally at least one inert gas inlet, and at least one precursor inlet, wherein the at least one combustion gas inlet provides a combustion gas to the burner module, the at least one oxidizer inlet provides an oxidizing gas to the burner module, the at least one inert gas inlet provides an inert gas to the burner module, and the at least one precursor inlet provides a soot precursor to the burner module; and c. a plurality of apertures located on a planar face of the body distal from a base of the body, the planar face having a length, wherein each of the plurality of apertures is in fluid communication through a fluid pathway with one of the at least one combustion gas inlet, the at least one oxidizer inlet, the at least one inert gas inlet, and the at least one precursor inlet; wherein the burner module delivers the combustion gas, the oxidizing gas, the soot precursor, and the inert gas through the plurality of apertures to a combustion site in a chemical vapor deposition process to produce a burner flame in a combustion zone proximate to the planar face.
