title = "Transmission properties of dielectric-coated hollow optical fibers based on Ni-Ti tube",
abstract = "Ni-Ti tube is used as a supporting tube for the infrared hollow fiber to obtain flexibility and strong mechanical strength. In order to reduce roughness of inner surface of Ni-Ti tube which causes the additional transmission loss, an acrylic-silicon resin material is used as a buffer layer to the inner wall of Ni-Ti tube for a low-loss characteristic. For the dielectric inner-coating layer, cyclic olefin polymer (COP) is used to lower the transmission loss. The COP layer is formed by using liquid-phase coating method. The hollow fibers with optimized COP inner film thickness for CO2 laser light were fabricated and reasonable transmission losses was demonstrated.",
