摘要
Ne propose hollow fibers for delivery of high-peak-power pulsed Nd:YAG laser light. Hollow fibers with an internal polymer layer were fabricated by a liquid-phase coating technique. Ne reduced the lasses of the fibers in the near-infrared region by producing a silver film that was very smooth owing to use of an ultrasonic wave for mixing of the silver and the reducer solutions in the silver-plating process. The straight losses of the I-m-long polymer-coated fibers were 0.3 dB for the 700-mu m bore size and 0.1 dB for the 1000-mu m bore fiber. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
