Double-crucible cane fabrication of highly purified chalcogenide-glass was combined with multimaterial thermal fiber drawing to produce robust low-loss 0.2 NA chalcogenide fibers. Optical transmission losses were shown to be less than 1.1 dB/m at wavelengths of 1.5, 2.0 and 4.6 mu m. Fiber transmission > 97% at the 1.5 mu m design wavelength was demonstrated using single-layer anti-reflection coatings that were durable under temperature, humidity and abrasion tests. Tensile-strength tests proved that the mechanical strength of the fiber was improved by a factor of 1000 compared to a jacket-free chalcogenide fiber. Multiwatt power transmission in single mode fiber was demonstrated. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
