✦ Synopsis

Fiber optics for carbon dioxide laser surgery have been in developmental research for the past ten years. An up-to-date presentation of infrared fiber optics as they pertain to laser surgery is presented. Optical properties such as intrinsic and extrinsic electronic absorption, multiphonon absorption, and scatter mechanisms are discussed. Real-world considerations for materials selection and fabrication techniques for both crystalline and glassy fiber optics give the reader a perspective regarding the stage of development of these devices. Data are presented indicating transmission ranges and absorption coefficients for both bulk materials and fabricated fiber optics. The conclusions are drawn based on the needs of the clinician as they relate to the degree of existing technology.

A high energy eye-safe and mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is demonstrated. The nonlinear media is a Y-cut KTA crystal with the length of 20 mm, which is pumped by a Nd:YAG laser. Both eye-safe and mid-infrared laser are output with high energy. When the pump energy is 1 J and the p

## Abstract There are a host of fiber‐optic delivery devices available for use with the Er:YAG, HF, CO, and CO~2~ lasers at 2.9, 2.8, 5.3, and 10.6 μm wavelengths, respectively. While many of these fibers are not as convenient to use as conventional silica fibers, they offer the ability to deliver
