Abstract

New medical applications of IR lasers are possible with flexible cables and catheters for laser power delivery. Optical parameters of fibers for Er; CO- and CO2-lasers along with design of special optical connectors, efficient coupling units, and optics at distal end are reviewed. Applications of cables and catheters for laser therapy and medical diagnostics are analyzed.
