Er:YAG laser beams (2.94 micrometers ) have more strong absorbability by water than CO2 laser beams (10.6 micrometers ). Er:Yag lasers are expected as a treatment beam for water rich biotissue, we considered the application of Er:YAG lasers for medical use in the near future. When applying it for medical use, the delivery systems must be prepared. So we are investigating higher pulse power Er:YAG laser beam transmission with fluoride glass fibers, chalcogenide glass fibers, and hollow tube guides. From our experimental results, these beam delivery techniques are possible for Er:YAG lasers.
