Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a system and apparatus for the transmission of high power laser energy over great distances without substantial power loss and without the presence of stimulated Raman scattering. There is further provided systems and optical fiber cable configurations and optical fiber structures for the delivering high power laser energy over great distances to a tool or surface to perform an operation or work with the tool or upon the surface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. An optical fiber cable for transmitting high power laser energy over great distances comprising: an optical fiber cable having a length that is greater than about 1 Km; the cable comprising: a. a core, comprising fused silica, and having a diameter of about 200 microns to about 700 microns; b. a cladding, comprising fused silica; and, c. a protective layer, wherein the protective layer surrounds the cladding, whereby the protective layer protects the claddi…
