Abstract
A new method is proposed for fabricating polymer-coated silver hollow glass fibers to avoid the flexibility deterioration after the curing process. Transmission properties of fibers made by the two procedures with and without curing process are compared. Little difference was observed in the transmission properties at the wavelength 2.94 μm of Er:YAG laser light and 10.6 μm of CO 2 laser light. The polymer layer is shown to be stable after 2-h, 5-W, continuous wave CO 2 laser light transmission.
