Chalcogenide glass cladded optical fibers of As-S-Se core/As-S cladding compositions are being developed at the Naval Research Laboratory. Results of testing these fibers for high power transmission in the 2 - 6 {mu}m wavelength region using various laser sources are presented. These sources include a CW CO laser (5.4 {mu}m) and a pulsed OPO (2 - 4 {mu}m). In addition, telluride glass fibers (transmission from 3 - 12 {mu}m) have been tested with CW CO{sub 2} laser input. Power handling capability has been assessed during laser irradiation by both visual observation of fiber endfaces using a microscope/camera apparatus and by measuring any reduction in power transmission.
