摘要：

Low-loss propagation of 10.6-μm light has been demonstrated in hollow metal waveguides of rectangular cross section that undergo axial twists. These twisted waveguides can serve as efficient infrared polarization rotators, where greater than 90% transmission has been achieved at 10.6 μm for a 90°rotation. In addition, transmission of more than 200 W cw through flexible waveguides is reported here, confirming that these waveguides are potentially useful for steering high-power infrared light beams.
