Scientific paper
A review of this new field of materials and optics science is presented. Two kinds of materials are used for the fiber fabrication: glasses and crystalline or polycrystalline compounds. Metallic halides and chalocogenides in a glassy or crystalline state are the most promising candidates because of their low attenuation and large transparency band. Fibers operating in the CO2-laser emitting region close to 10.6 microns are of particular interest; KRS5 fibers have the best attenuations. Fluoride glass fibers have prompted numerous investigations because of their predicted ultralow loss of less than 0.01-0.001 dB/km. Applications for long repeaterless communications and short-length power transmission are discussed.
