Abstract: IR transmitting hollow waveguides are an attractive alternative to solid-core IR fibers. They are made from plastic, metal or glass tubes that have highly reflective coatings deposited on the inner surface. These guides have losses as low as 0.1 dB/m at 10.6 μm and may be bent to radii less than 5 cm. In addition to the capability of transmitting up to 3 kW of CO2 laser power for high power laser delivery applications hollow waveguides are found suitable for temperature and chemical fiber sensor applications.
