Temperature distribution along oversized hollow-core waveguides for infrared radiation.
A new formalism has been established to describe the temperature distribution along hollow-core waveguides when high-powered CO(2) laser light is launched. Itistheoretically shown that the temperature decreases in an oscillatory manner along waveguides due to the interference effect of guided modes. Experimental results are also presented to confirm the theoretical predictions quantitatively.
