We present current results and discuss future potential for laser power transmission through chalcogenide fibers in the 2-11 micrometers wavelength region. Results include both high average power and high peak power laser transmission. Multiple pulse laser induced damage thresholds are presented for polished glass surfaces, bulk glass and fiber endfaces. Important issues for optimum power delivery are discussed, including antireflection coatings on fiber endfaces and a method for smoothing the fiber output spatial distribution.
