Abstract

Plastic hollow fibers for IR transmission were characterized employing several physical and chemical methods. The dielectric layer was found to be fl-AgI or 'y-AgI on the surface. The amount of iodine decreases gradually at deeper layers. The equivalent depth was determined from coulometric experiments; 0.3- 1 .6 jim. Several treatments in dermatology and oral surgery were carried •out.
