Abstract

Advances in the technology of fabricating IR transmissive fiber waveguides have resulted in the development of fibers that offer unique solutions to near and long-term IR systems problems. Short (<2 m) links of polycrystalline KRS-5 (thallium bromoiodide) fiber have already been successfully used to relay information to remote photodetectors. Future long-distance communications links may take advantage of the extremely low loss potential (~10-3 dB/km) predicted theoretically for a large class of IR fiber materials near 5 µm.
