An apparatus, system, and method for recycling glass fiber waste, particularly glass fiber embedded within a binder material. The system includes a kiln, a char separator, and a multi-stage molten salt bath having a temperature gradient. Glass fiber waste is provided to the kiln which converts the waste into glass fibers and char. At least some of the char is then separated from the glass fibers in the char separator. The glass fibers, and any remaining char, are then placed in the molten salt bath at the point having the lowest temperature. The glass fibers are then moved to the higher temperature areas within the molten salt bath. As the glass fibers pass from the low temperature to the high temperature, any remaining char is consumed, and the glass fibers are reconditioned via ionic exchange for further use. The glass fibers are then cooled for reuse.

A quantum entanglement device and a method of manufacture thereof are described. Specifically, an optical fiber for generating entangled photons is described that includes an optical core and photon entanglement media disposed relative to the optical core. The photon entanglement media includes at least one non-linear crystal, such as Barium Borate. A method of manufacturing an optical fiber is also described that includes providing a fiber preform that contains a nonlinear optical crystal within it, heating the fiber preform until the fiber preform reaches a predetermined temperature, and drawing the optical fiber form the preform, thereby generating an optical fiber having a photon entanglement media disposed therein, where the photon entanglement media comprises at least one non-linear crystal.
