基于溅射和电镀技术制备了用于Er:YAG、CO和CO(2)激光的锌包覆Ag空心波导。制作了三种直径为1毫米、长度为1米的波导。其中两个设计用于在Er:YAG和CO激光波长处实现最小损耗，另一个用于所有激光。Er:YAG、CO和CO(2)激光的直接损耗分别为0.4、0.5和0.25 dB/m。由于波导具有柔性和低损耗，因此它们在工业和医疗应用中的中红外激光传输中非常有用。
ZnS-coated Ag hollow waveguides for Er:YAG, CO, and CO(2) laser light are fabricated based on a sputtering and an electroplating technique. Three types of these waveguides with a 1-mm diameter and a 1-m length are fabricated. Two of them are designed to achieve the minimum loss at the wavelengths of Er:YAG and CO laser light, and the other is for all the lasers. Straight losses of 0.4, 0.5, and 0.25 dB/m are obtained for Er:YAG, CO, and CO(2) laser light, respectively. Because the waveguides are flexible and low loss, they are useful in delivery of mid-infrared lasers in industrial and medical applications.
