title: Refractive indices and extinction coefficients of polymers for the mid-infrared region.
abstract: Refractive indices and extinction coefficients of several polymers have been measured for the wide infrared wavelength region. The polymers used as coating materials have also been found useful for low-loss hollow waveguides for the transmission of Er:YAG, CO, and CO(2) laser light, respectively.
