Hollow glass waveguides are used to deliver free electron laser (FEL) energy for applications in medicine and laser surgery. The hollow guides, optimized for the delivery of 6.45-μm FEL radiation, exhibited losses for the 1000-μm bore as low as 0.39 dB/m when the guide was straight and 1.75 dB/m when bent to a radius of 25 cm. Hollow glass guides are flexible, and their broadband capability provides an ideal fiber optic for the tunable FEL.
中空玻璃波导用于传输自由电子激光(FEL)能量,以应用于医学和激光手术领域。这些经过优化以传输6.45微米FEL辐射的中空波导,对于内径为1000微米的波导,在波导为直线时损耗低至0.39分贝/米,弯曲至半径为25厘米时损耗为1.75分贝/米。中空玻璃波导具有柔韧性,其宽带能力为可调谐FEL提供了理想的光纤。
