Title: Optical fiber configurations for transmission of laser energy over great distances

Patent · Tue Oct 29 00:00:00 EDT 2013

OSTI ID:1107629

Rinzler, Charles C; Zediker, Mark S

There are provided optical fiber configurations that provide for the delivery of laser energy, and in particular, the transmission and delivery of high power laser energy over great distances. These configurations further are hardened to protect the optical fibers from the stresses and conditions of an intended application. The configurations provide means for determining the additional fiber length (AFL) need to obtain the benefits of such additional fiber, while avoiding bending losses.
