✦ Synopsis
A new method is proposed for fabricating polymer-coated silver hollow glass ÿbers to avoid the exibility deterioration after the curing process. Transmission properties of ÿbers made by the two procedures with and without curing process are compared. Little di erence was observed in the transmission properties at the wavelength 2:94 m of Er:YAG laser light and 10:6 m of CO2 laser light. The polymer layer is shown to be stable after 2-h, 5-W, continuous wave CO2 laser light transmission.
