Abstract

Hollow fibers for infrared laser delivery are drawn from a glass perform to produce a low-loss and flexible hollow glass fiber at low cost. To utilize the interference effect of the thin glass wall, the wall thickness is carefully controlled by the drawing speed. A Pyrex-glass hollow fiber with an inner diameter of 280 μm and a wall thickness of 9.92 μm shows a low loss at 2.94 μm of the Er:YAG laser wavelength when coated with a silver film on the outer surface.
