Borate-based materials are of high interest to generate an UV laser light from a crystal. Fiber-shaped crystals combining the advantages of fiber lasers and crystalline lasers, we have investigated the growing conditions required to obtain usable fibers of Bi2ZnB2O7 (BZBO) and LaBGeO5 (LBGO). For BZBO, the major drawback was the pronounced color of the fibers and for LBGO, it was the high viscosity of its melt leading to use a flux. This paper presents our state of the art to obtain good quality BZBO and LBGO crystal fibers.
