SUMMARY:INFRARED TRANSMITTING SILVER HALIDE FIBERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS 
  - Prof. Abraham Katzir\, School of Physics and Astronomy\, Tel Aviv Unive

DESCRIPTION:There is a wide interest in the development of optical fibers 
 for the mid - IR (i.e. 3-30μm).  AgClBr crystals are extruded in our labo
 ratory to form fibers\, which are flexible\, non-toxic\, non-hygroscopic a
 nd highly transparent in the mid-IR.  \nThese silver halide fibers have ma
 de it possible to carry out advanced research and development\, which will
  be discussed in this talk: \n(1)  Non-contact fiberoptic thermometry. \n(
 2)  Laser power transmission through IR fibers (e.g. laser cutting or heat
 ing).\n(3)  Laser bonding of tissues - clinical studies.\n(4)  Fiberoptic 
 evanescent wave spectroscopy and its applications: \na.	Environmental prot
 ection (e.g. monitoring of pollution in water and soil). \nb.	Homeland Sec
 urity (e.g. online monitoring of poisons in water).\nc.	Early diagnosis of
  diseases\, such as cancer – clinical studies. \n (5)  Doped AgClBr crys
 tals and fibers for mid - IR amplifiers and lasers (e.g. countermeasures a
 gainst shoulder launched missiles).\n(6)  Near-field scanning mid-IR micro
 scopy with a sub-wavelength resolution (e.g. the study of individual livin
 g cells or of individual components in integrated electronic circuits). \n
