Hollow-sapphire and metal-dielectric-coated hollow-glass waveguides have been used to deliver CO 2 laser power for industrial laser applications. The transmission, bending loss, and output-beam properties of these waveguides are described. The bore sizes of the hollow-sapphire waveguides were 1070 a
Background and Objectives: One significant inconvenience of the GO, laser is the lack of flexible fibers essential for endoscopic applications. The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of hollow waveguides in view of a practical use in medicine. Study DesignlMaterials and Methods: Various t
