摘要：

Hollow glass waveguides are an attractive fiber delivery system for a broad range of infrared wavelengths, including the 3-mu m Er:YAG and 10.6 mu m CO2 lasers. The losses for these waveguides are as low as 0.1 dB/m at the 10.6-mu m wavelength for waveguides with a 700-mu m bore, The guides are suitable for delivering laser powers well in excess of 100 W, Continuous power delivery for over 250 h is possible for powers less than 35 W, When stored under normal laboratory conditions, the loss is seen to change only slightly over a period up to two years.
