In this paper we will review techniques for the growth of single crystal mostly of insulating material which are shaped in the growth process. In particular, we will focus on the growth of single crystal fibers of optically activated materials; the emphasis will be placed on the so-called Laser Heated Pedestal Growth (LHPG) method of pulling crystalline fibers. LHPG offers a number of logistical advantages which can be exploited as a tool for materials research. Progress in the synthesis of materials using LHPG is described, as are spectroscopic techniques which are employed in characterizing the optical and physical properties of the crystal fibers obtained through this method.
