Abstract

Thermal effects caused by launching conditions in a CO₂ laser beam delivery that uses metallic hollow waveguides is investigated. It is found that front-end clipping is the main cause of thermal loading and generates a steep temperature gradient at the fiber front end while the continuous beam attenuation produces a temperature distribution declining slowly along the waveguide. © 1998 Optical Society of America.
