Abstract

This paper describes the preparation and characterization of chalcogenide fibers for applications such as imaging and remote optical powering. The fibers were drawn from rod preforms and clad with a UV-cured urethane acrylate coating. The polymer clad fibers were 250 gm in diameter. Extended lengths up to 0.5 km of fiber were achieved that exhibited excellent strength and flexibility.
