The modification of mid-infrared radiation spatial profile caused by COP/Ag hollow glass waveguide was investigated. The four laser systems – flashlamp pumped Er:YAG, Tm:YAG, and diode pumped Tm:YAG, and Tm:YAP laser sources – generating radiation in free-running regime were designed and constructed

✦ Synopsis
A special type of cyclic olefin polymer coated silver hollow glass waveguide with 700 μm inner diameter was utilized for original transfer of mid-infrared Fe:ZnSe laser radiation generating at 4.45 μm. This laser system was pumped by electro-optically Q-switched 2.94 μm Er:YAG laser radiation. For 1.1 mJ Fe:ZnSe laser energy with pulse duration 300 ns, the waveguide transmission of 4.45 μm radiation reached up to 64%. Bent waveguide showed the transmission decrease to 60%.
