Abstract: The 2.7 µm-band power-delivery characteristics of GdF3-BaF2-ZrF4-AlF3 glass fibers were investigated using an HF laser emitting at 2.6–3.0 µm wavelengths. Typical delivered power, without fiber damage, exceeded 0.6 W for a 300 µm core diameter and 4 meter long fiber, corresponding to a transmission efficiency of about 30%. The power-transmission capability in the 2.7 µm band makes the fluoride glass fiber very attractive as a flexible waveguide for laser printers and other applications.
