Research Abstract

The application of the medical infrared laser with a wavelength of 2 μm and over is expanding in almost all the sub fields in medicine. In many medical applications, there is a critical requirement for high-durability and performance distal hollow fiber tips. We report on the fabrication of high-durability and performance distal hollow fiber tips for Er:YAG medical laser.
