Laser Material Processing Techniques

As durable and nontoxic infra-red waveguides, polyimide-coated silver hollow waveguides have been proposed and fabricated based on the liquid phase coating method in the whole process. Er:YAG laser light has been successfully transmitted through the waveguide with small bending losses.
