Flexible light guide

摘要: A flexible light guide especially useful for guiding high power laser beams. The in one form includes a conducting fiber surrounded by protective shielding with liquid cladding the area between and shielding. Both ends of have an end surface tapered decreasing circumference joining each fiber, being smaller diameter than either length at other end. areas are tubes having inner outer diameter. least tube is fused to guarantee perfect suspension fiber. reduces unwanted beam divergence caused bending area.
