Snapshots of the AVG breakup experiment at different feed speeds, where the breakup location can be identified as the distance of the pinch-off from the melting position of silicon (indicated by the dashed vertical line). The experiments were performed in 280 μm thick silica fiber with 4 μm Si core by feeding it through a hydrogen-oxygen flame resulting from a flow of 0.30 l/min of H 2 , 0.10 l/min of O 2 (also see Methods).
