title: High-cycle fatigue of silver halide infrared fibers.
abstract: The transmission of CO(2) laser radiation by silver halide infrared fibers was measured during cyclic bending of the fibers. High-cycle fatigue of the fibers was investigated. The fibers were found to transmit without significant deterioration after more than 10(7) cycles. The fatigue-stress limit, based on 10(7) bending cycles, was estimated to be approximately 75 MPa.
