A chalcogenide glass rod and/or a fluoride glass rod are covered with a thermally shrinkable synthetic resin tube, the resulting assembly being heated under vacuum to produce a preform, and a thermally shrinkable synthetic resin tube with a plurality of said preforms formed in a bundle and inserted thereinto is drawn again under heating.

Method of producing infrared image guide

A focal point direct observation type laser scalpel device has a construction wherein laser beams generated by an infrared laser generator and transmitted through an optical fiber adapted for infrared laser beams and visible rays issued from a visible ray source and transmitted through optical fibers adapted for visible rays are passed through one common converging lens system so that recognition of the focal point of the laser beams is accomplished by visual observation of the focal point of the visible rays.

Focal point direct observation type laser scalpel device

A CO.sub.2 laser machining apparatus, has a CO.sub.2 laser oscillator connected with a condenser through a flexible cable including a fiber bundle for transmitting infrared rays of 10.6 micrometers therein.

CO.sub.2 Laser machining apparatus

An optical fiber for infrared transmission constructed by winding a cladding around a core in the manner of a coil, the cladding having a refractive index lower than that of the core, a protective tube being employed to jacket the clad core.
