Hollow glass fibers for infrared lasers
Hollow optical fibers with silver and polymer coating on the inner surface of glass tubing.
Target lasers include Er:YAG of 3-micron wavelength and 10.6-micron CO2 lasers.
Hollow glass fibers are suitable for medical and dental applications due to high chemical and mechanical stability and non-toxicity.
- Medical, Dental application
- Industrial high power CW/pulse laser delivery
- IR image delivery
- Quantum cascade
- 2-12um wavelength region
- CO2, ErYAG laser dlivery
- High mechanical/chemical/temperature stability
