改进了制造具有内银层和环烯烃聚合物（COP）层的中空光纤的技术，以降低这两层的表面粗糙度。因此，在从可见光到近红外的宽波长范围内，损失光谱急剧减少。COP层厚度的优化导致同时在几个关键激光波长下的低损耗。研制了用于Er：YAG和Nd：YAG激光器的低损耗红外空心光纤。它还可以提供低损耗的绿色和红色导频光束。这种光纤在治疗激光器和先导激光器中的使用，将证明对激光医学的研究和发展是有用的。
The techniques for fabricating a hollow optical fiber with an inner silver layer and a cyclic olefin polymer (COP) layer have been improved to reduce the surface roughness of these two layers. The loss spectrum was thereby drastically reduced over a wide wavelength range, from visible to near infrared. Optimization of the COP layer thickness resulted in low loss simultaneously at several key laser wavelengths. Infrared hollow fiber with low loss was developed for Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers. It can also deliver green and red pilot beams with low loss. Use of this fiber in therapeutic and pilot lasers should prove useful for research and development in laser medicine.
